Red Devil Charlie?
Manchester United is willing to offer Corinthians US$28 million (£15 million) for an unhappy Apache.
In an attempt to replace Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Sir Alex Ferguson looks to Brazil to obtain the services of one of its top players. According to British newspaper The Daily Star, the Manchester boss asked team brass to make the economic sacrifice for the player in order to have dependable attacking option alongside Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo. According to sources within the club, the transaction should be finalized within the next few days.
Another team that rings in Carlos’ future is Barcelona as the fans and directors would like to see him alongside Lionel Messi on the same attacking front, although Sports Director Txiki Beguiristain mentioned a few weeks earlier that Barca already close their book for the upcoming season.
Tevez relationship has always been on the highest of highs and lowest of lows.since his arrival from Boca Juniors in late 2004 with a much ballyhooed US $18 million price tag over his head, a South American record. He was also the first high profile name brought on board by the Kia Joorabchian-led Media Sports Investments (MSI). Amid a tempestuous start, Tevez led Corinthians to the Brasileirão title last year and was awarded the Player of the Year Award. Unfortunately, that was all forgotten in the past few months as the Timão fell to last place in the Brazilian National Tournament. His relationship went south with the fans as well as he was harassed by the Gavioes da Fiel (Hawks of the Faithful), one of the club’s most hardcore group of followers after he “silenced” them after they criticized his teammates during a match against Fortaleza a few weeks back. He felt the repercussions after the match when the automobile he was traveling in was attacked by a mob of fans right outside the stadium.
The situation seemed to have settled down a bit now that their team is no longer in the basement and Tevez is scoring once again; but this will not heal the scar that was left in the argentine international’s psyche as he now fears for the safety of his family.
Tevez can sign for Man Utd any day:)
