Tevez Offered New Manchester United Deal - Report

Manchester United are set to secure the future of their Argentinean striker Carlos Tevez, reports in England indicate today.

Earlier, there had been suggestions from Italy that Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan was waiting to snare the player. However, after a meeting between United manager Alex Ferguson and Tevez's representative, Kia Joorabchian, following the weekend's victory over Everton, it now looks likely that the Argentine international will be staying in England, according to The Daily Mirror.

Ferguson has seemingly been highly impressed with the way in which Tevez has responded so positively to being left out of the side earlier in the season, with the striker being recalled to the first-team after Wayne Rooney was injured last month.

Tevez had reportedly felt marginalised after the Red Devils signed Dimitar Berbatov in the summer but, rather than sulking about things, he has rolled his sleeves up and performed magnificently whenever called upon by Ferguson.

It is believed that the deal will be worth £30 million, but how that breaks down with the complicated issue of Tevez's 'third-party' registration is impossible to say at this stage.

The player himself, already reputed to be on £75,000 a week, will be offered a contract that will see him take home £11.7m during the three year duration of the deal. Perhaps a good job then that United also announced pre-tax profits of £59.6m this week.

a horrible deal for united

£30m for an additional 3 years of service, not worth it imo

£30m is just not right IMO. He has shown us some good form and Rooney's place is perhaps no longer a formality. We would want to be getting that form pretty consistantly if that deal is to seem anywhere near worth it.

from the article and my understanding of the current deal is that we paid around £10m for tevez's 2 year loan period (split between west ham and MSI) and we have now offered an additional £30m to MSI and have offered tevez a 3 year deal

if this is true its a very bad deal

So £40m? That's just shocking.

tbf this is my interpretation of it and i highly doubt that SAF will ok such a deal but if its true and the article is accurate then its a huge waste of money on a player that will struggle to get into the first team

but what worries me more than the transfer fee or the wages is the length of the contract. 3 years? plus he has stated he would like to retire/return to argentina at the age of 28 (his peak) so we are unlikely sell him at a reasonable price

Could get a much better striker for that money IMO.

I agree with that. But they already know what they are getting with Tevez and he probably is key to team spirit. Just seems like the type of guy people like being around.

That said, I would buy someone else if I was SAF.
I am soft.
