Silvio Berlusconi believes Milan would provide the perfect environment for Carlos Tevez to relaunch his career.
The Rossoneri have made no secret of their admiration for the Argentina striker, who is currently back in South America after a dispute with Manchester City which centres around his conduct during the Champions League loss at Bayern Munich in September.
Paris St Germain have also been linked but Milan owner Berlusconi has urged the 27-year-old to put footballing reasons at the top of his agenda as he seeks a new club.
“If he comes with us, he will win the Golden Ball award,” Berlusconi told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Tevez has two options, one which regards prestige and the other one money.
“Milan is prestige and he would have the possibility to showcase his talent around the world and win the Golden Ball with us.
“PSG represents a strong economic force. He must choose between one or the other.”
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani announced on Wed-nesday night that the Rossoneri would not enter a bidding war with PSG for Tevez.
The Italian champions, looking to fill a striking vacancy created by Antonio Cassano’s heart problem, have made an offer to take Tevez on loan in January with an option to make his stay at the San Siro permanent next summer but Manchester City are not thought to be keen on an initial temporary deal.
Meanwhile, reports in Argentina claim that Tevez is keen to join Boca Juniors
“Milan? I only want Boca Juniors,” he was quoted as telling newspapers in his home country.
“I am tired of travelling to and from Europe. You can be certain I’m never going back to England.”
