Real Madrid Inching Towards Manchester United Striker
Reigning Spanish champions and European powerhouse Real Madrid are seemingly inching closer to signing Argentine international Carlos Tevez from defending Premier League and European champions Manchester United, according to latest reports.
The Madrid giants have declared that they shall make a few signings in January in the wake of their star striker Ruud van Nistelrooy being ruled out for the rest of the season. One of the several strikers that they are looking forward to recruiting in January is Carlos Tevez.
Tevez has been relegated to the bench since the start of this season in the wake of Man United signing Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenhan Hotspur in the summer. Although Tevez has publicly insisted that he is happy at Old Trafford, there are reports that businessman Kia Joorabchian, who owns Tevez’s economic rights, is inclined to sell Tevez for a hefty sum.
Carlos Tevez is technically on loan to Man United for until June 30,2009 but so far the Red Devils have not made any concrete move to make the deal a permanent one, leading to speculation that manager Sir Alex Ferguson does not need him anymore.
Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid have expressed their inclination to sign the player. They are reportedly willing to sign the player at the end of this season but with the team plagued by injuries, president Ramon Calderon might as well make a bid for the player in January.
Kia Joorabchian is said to have attached a €27 million price tag on Tevez and if Real Madrid indeed make a bid for the player, then he might well agree to sell him.
At the moment it seems that a move for Tevez to the Bernabeu would benefit all the parties concerned.

Yet another example of reporting without taking to much notice of the facts. Tevez, although on loan, is still under contract until the end of this season. Real Madrid will not be able to sign him until at least Summer 09.
December 1st, 2008 @ 23:49Real Madrid cant sign him because when his loan deal ends Man nited have 1st option so they publicly have to say No before they can even talk about sining him and United are one for gettings the upper hand real tried to blly united to unsettle Ronaldo and now attention turn to tevez Carlos in my opinion is one of the greatest young talents and deserves to play ahead of Berbatov
December 2nd, 2008 @ 01:06Man.U should be concerned
December 2nd, 2008 @ 15:10we lose Tevez for Berbatov
is it worth it?
I surely DON’T think so.
I am holding on Tevez as much as I can
December 2nd, 2008 @ 15:21but he is not wot I want from a striker
I prefer Berbatov cos he is slow and saves
his energy, besides he has good still motion for T.V
where our sponsors like it, cos it gives the people
chance to see the sponsor logo and i told the team not to
ruffle his hair if he scores cos his parting is exactly str8
remember the story of the hare and the turtle
