Corinthians not looking to sign City’s Tevez

Corinthians are not ready to make another move for Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez, general manager Edu said yesterday.

Argentina international Tevez was the subject of a £35 million bid from the Brazilian club in July but they ran out of time to seal the deal.

Since then, the 27-year-old has made only two starts for City and was last week suspended by the Premier League side following his alleged refusal to come on as a substitute in their Champions League 2-0 defeat at Bayern Munich.

“At the moment there are no plans to try and sign him again,” Edu told the BBC.

“I’m starting to think about our new squad for 2012 and I’ve talked to our coach about what we need – but Tevez was not mentioned.

“We are always interested in world class players like Carlos but you need to analyse if it’s right for you at that time to try to sign him or not. We have not spoken to him or his agent.”
