Argentinean striker to be touted around major clubs

Carlos is world renowned for his ability to bring joy to the faces of children

This week, it would appear that the conventions of high profile transfers are evolving before our very eyes. Michael Owen’s representatives are sending out glossy brochures like he’s a company car, and Carlos Tevez’s owners Media Sports Investments will this week meet with ‘all interested parties’ to discuss the future of their prized asset. Whatever happened to the tried-and-tested route of surreptitious tapping up followed by an agonisingly drawn-out summer saga?

The Guardian this morning claimed that the wet dog-alike was unwilling to return to Manchester Utd, despite Alex Ferguson interrupting his holiday in the south of France several times to plead with him.

According to Sky Sports, owner Kia Joorabchian will shop Tevez around Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea over the next two days, looking for a club who will give him the first team football he feels he deserves. Front runners are said to be City, who will reportedly pay him £140,000-a-week, a 75 per cent increase on his current wage.

Although it is understood he is keen to stay in the Premier League, there is also a Spanish and an Italian club who are looking to lure the 25-year-old. A cursory glance at the rumour vine suggests the Spanish club is not Real Madrid, but the Italian one is very possibly Inter Milan.

So, where should young Carlitos go in 2009/10? Let us know your thoughts below…
