# Carlos Tvez: if I leave Manchester City it will be for family but I'd love
|
|
to take title from Manchester United
|
|
|
|
## Carlos Tevez has said that if he quits Manchester City this summer it will
|
|
be because of his family - but has offered a glimmer of hope that he might
|
|
stay by stating that a "great motivation" would be to take the Premier League
|
|
title away from his former club Manchester United.

|
|
|
There is an expectation that Tevez will leave at the end of this campaign,
|
|
with City sources already citing a proposed transfer fee of £50 million, and
|
|
the striker, of course, having submitted a transfer request last December.
|
|
|
|
That request was subsequently withdrawn following talks with [**Manchester
|
|
City**][7] chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak, but it was more of an uneasy truce
|
|
than a reconciliation and despite his protests it believed that Tevez would
|
|
prefer to go if the right deal can be struck.
|
|
|
|
"Everyone is saying I'm already out but I'm still here and I haven't decided
|
|
anything yet," the 27 year-old insisted. "It's a decision that I have to make
|
|
with my family, who are the priority. I don't have problems with anyone at the
|
|
club, things are fine with [manager Roberto] Mancini and everyone but it's a
|
|
decision I need to discuss with my family whether I stay or not."
|
|
|
|
Matters are complicated because Tevez 's former partner has returned to
|
|
Argentina with the couple's two children and he has struggled to see them as
|
|
often as he would like. That has led to the belief that he will seek a move to
|
|
Spain, in particular, where there are more direct flights back to Buenos Aires
|
|
but also, crucially, his former partner may be persuaded to spend more time.
|
|
|
|
"I don't know if I am going to leave or not, if I'm going to Spain or Italy or
|
|
somewhere else," Tevez said. "I'm at the club, the club wants me to stay but I
|
|
have to make sure everything is OK for my family, I'll have to speak to them
|
|
about that and see if I have to go.

"My kids are a long distance away from Manchester and if there is an option to
|
|
go then it will be something to do with my family and children. It would be a
|
|
personal decision rather than a professional one."
|
|
|
|
The striker maintained that his family situation was for him, rather than City
|
|
to sort out. "It's not for the club to do anything about," he said and while
|
|
accepting than Spain or Italy was not nearer to Argentina he added: "It's not
|
|
only distance that matters."
|
|
|
|
Tevez reiterated his stance, revealed by _Telegraph Sport_ last December, that
|
|
despite suggestions from within City that he was angling for a new improved
|
|
contact that his unease had nothing to do with month.
|
|
|
|
"No, no," he said when asked whether a new deal - he has three years left on
|
|
his present agreement - might sway him. He insisted that it was not his
|
|
intention to attempt to hold the club to ransom in any way.
|
|
|
|
Tevez started Saturday's FA Cup final against Stoke City and was one of the
|
|
stand-out performers, proving not only his fitness but that Mancini was right
|
|
to take the gamble even though the captain had played just 10 minutes of
|
|
first-team football after damaging his hamstring against Liverpool in April.
|
|
|
|
Tevez was desperate to play in the final but was fearful that Mancini might
|
|
not take the risk. In the event he played almost the whole game and made a
|
|
crucial contribution to City's 1-0 victory which ended 35 years without a
|
|
trophy.
|
|
|
|
Tevez was acutely aware of the achievement - which meant the end of a banner
|
|
at Old Trafford which reminded City supporters of the drought - and stoked the
|
|
growing rivalry between the two clubs.
|
|
|
|
"We remember that flag very well and now it would make me very happy that they
|
|
will have to take it down," the Argentinian, who spent two successful years on
|
|
loan at [**Manchester United**][14] before joining City, said. "We are working
|
|
to be a big team in England, winning titles, and if we keep on working hard
|
|
then we can hopefully achieve our targets."
|
|
|
|
Asked whether being the City captain, with the aim of overhauling their
|
|
neighbours, was a motivation, Tevez admitted: "Yes, that is a great motivation
|
|
to stay. It would make me very happy to win the title here. It is that we all
|
|
want and need but now it's time to celebrate winning the Cup we worked very
|
|
hard to get into the top four, and now to win the FA Cup, it's a big
|
|
achievement by the players."
|
|
|
|
City's triumph, of course, followed on from United securing their 19th title
|
|
and in the face of criticism of Mancini and his tactics, considering the
|
|
club's spending.
|
|
|
|
"We are becoming a big team, we've got big players and it's normal that when
|
|
you don't play so good people will criticise you and we knew not everyone
|
|
would accept us, but we're not playing to shut these people up, we're playing
|
|
to hit our objectives," Tevez said.
|
|
|
|
The striker has had his run-ins with the manager in the past - last week
|
|
Mancini had to clarify to Tevez that he had not said the player wanted to move
|
|
to Italy - but insisted they had a "great relationship".
|
|
|
|
"We are both winners and what to achieve more things for the club," Tevez
|
|
said. "We have a good relationship off the pitch and in the professional
|
|
sense. Sometimes there were some problems between us but I think that happens
|
|
everywhere and we want to be successful."
