Tevez´s future at Man Utd in doubt

February 20, 2009

LONDON (AFP) – Carlos Tevez could be on his way out of Manchester United after the Argentina striker’s owners admitted they are ’studying other options’ for his future.

Tevez’s two-year loan at Old Trafford expires at the end of the season and United have yet to agree a permanent deal with his representative Kia Joorabchian.

United had the first option to sign Tevez but failed to agree a deal before it ran out at the end of January.

Although Tevez is keen to stay with the Premier League leaders, Real Madrid and Inter Milan have been linked with bids for the forward, and Joorabchian confirmed the player’s third-party owners are weighing up interest from other clubs.

"Carlos is in the market now that United have not made any move for him," said Joorabchian in the Daily Star on Friday.

"We are now studying other options and interested parties. There is no option left with United any longer."

Joorabchian is the frontman for Media Sports Investments (MSI), the group of investors who bought the economic rights to Tevez earlier in his career.

MSI can transfer Tevez to whoever pays their asking price, with Joorabchian taking a key role in negotiating with clubs on Tevez’s behalf.
