Tevez looking to leave Man City

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has declared that he wants to leave the club this summer due to family reasons.

The Argentina international submitted a transfer request in December, before performing a U-turn and pledging his commitment to the club following talks.

His long-term future remained the subject of intense speculation but manager Roberto Mancini remained confident that the player would stay.

Mancini stated over the weekend that he planned to keep Tevez after a proposed swap deal with Inter Milan for Samuel Eto'o fell through.

Tevez has never made a secret of the fact that he misses his children, who have been living with their mother back in Argentina, and he wants to put their interests first.

"It is with great regret that I have to inform Manchester City of my wish to leave the club," he said in a statement.

"I would like to state that I have great respect for the club, its supporters and the owner, Sheikh Mansour, who has been nothing other than respectful to me.

"I hope that the people understand the difficult circumstances I have been living under the past 12 months, in regards to my family.

"Living without my children in Manchester has been incredibly challenging for me.

"Everything I do, I do for my daughters, Katie and Florencia. I need to be closer to them and to spend more time with them.

"I need them to be happy because my life is about them now. I need to be in a place where they can adapt.

"Being captain of Manchester City, qualifying for the Champions League, winning the FA Cup and finishing as top-scorer last season has made me very proud.

"I hope that most of the City fans will understand that I have given them my all on the pitch and that my dedication to the City cause has been 100% on the pitch.

"I hope I have done my bit to help City continue their progress towards their ambition to be champions of England and to advance in the Champions League.

"I have no doubt that the players and management of City will achieve great success in the future."

Tevez is currently on international duty with Argentina at Copa America.

Tevez losing fitness race

Manchester City captain Carlos Tevez must prove he is fit enough to face Tottenham Hotspur next Tuesday or risk missing the FA Cup final against Stoke City on May 14, manager Roberto Mancini has confirmed.



The 27-year-old Argentine striker has not played since City's defeat at Liverpool on April 11 when he tore a hamstring and was absent for City's semi-final win over Manchester United.



Mancini said that Tevez remained a doubt for Saturday's Premier League game against Everton at Goodison Park and that time was running out for him to be fit for the Wembley date.



“It's very difficult for him to play against Everton, and if he doesn't play against Tottenham, it will be impossible for Carlos to play in the final,” Mancini said.



"We have 10 days so we will wait and we hope that he can recover. I think it is 50 per cent at this moment."
