Carlos Tevez heading out of Manchester City?

Tevez wants to go back to his homeland

Tevez has 18 months left on his contract at Manchester City and he does not want to sign a new one. He has cleared it out with the club officials that he will play out his contract and then head to his boyhood heroes Boca Juniors. Tevez has publicly said that he would ­rather have played for Boca in the Buenos Aires derby against River Plate than line up for Roberto ­Mancini’s men against Fulham.

He said, “I’ve got a year left on my contract at ­Manchester City and they want me to sign for two more ­seasons.

“I would prefer to return home, but it is very ­difficult because City won’t let me leave for nothing.

“I will stay in Europe for another two years and then go back.

“Boca’s president always says the door is open for me to rejoin them and I am dying to pull on their shirt once more.

“I want to end my career with them. It is my dream and the dream of my ­family as well. I would love to be playing for them against River Plate. I’d prefer that to City’s game against Fulham.

“But I am under contract and have to be here in England.”

In 2009, Tevez joined Manchester City after rejecting a stay at his former club, Manchester United. But he has had disputes with Mancini and has been fined over £10 million in wages.

He admitted, “I ­almost retired last year.

“I had lost the desire to play and spent time ­crying alone in my room.

“Bad things happened one after the other. I was knocked out of the Copa America with Argentina and I had my dispute with Roberto Mancini.

“I suffered psychologically. I did not want ­anything more to do with football.”

Tevez added: “I am much better now.

“I am winning people over because I began the new season well.

“Although my form dipped, I am on my way back. I have lost weight and I can run faster.”

“I still don’t like being substituted. I am a hot-blooded individual, but at least I now understand the manager’s reasons.

“In the past I used to call him every name under the sun, but now I ­understand he does it for the good of the team.”
