City close in on United star

Manchester City, 09:49, June 25, 2009 ,

Carlos Tevez's adviser Kia Joorabchian says Manchester City are the favourites to sign the Argentinian striker.

Tevez's contract at Manchester United expires at the end of the month and he has already decided to leave Old Trafford to continue his career elsewhere.
Chelsea are also interested, along with another unnamed club, but Joorabchian has admitted City are in the driving seat to land the 25-year-old and he expects his future to be sorted once and for all in the next fortnight.
Joorabchian told Radio del Plata: "Right now we are evaluating the proposals from Manchester City, Chelsea and one other team.
"In the next two weeks, Carlos, Adrian (Rouco, Tevez's agent) and I will meet to sort this out.
"City is a club with most of the chances because they are building a big squad, but it is not a decisive point.
"The contract with United officially runs to until June 31 and we'll respect that. After July 1, we'll see. We may be defined in 10 days."
