Tevez, who moved level with Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov in the race
for the Golden Boot by scoring his 19th and 20th league goals of the season in
the 3-0 victory against Stoke City, had suggested after Saturday's FA Cup
final that he was unsure of his future at the club.
With only Inter Milan seemingly possessing both the desire and the finances to
lure Tevez from City, an apparent lack of interest in the 27-year-old has
narrowed his options should he pursue a move away from the club.
But manager Mancini insists that Tevez has now made clear his readiness to
stay at [**City**][7] as they prepare for their first campaign in the
Champions League next season.
Mancini said: "I think he [Tevez] will stay. He told me he wants to stay. He
has a five-year contract and he told me he wants to stay before the Cup final
and after. There has never been a problem.

"I spoke with him many times in the last 20 days. I spoke with him and I think
he wants to stay and he will remain here.
"[He asked to leave] in December, but everyone can change their opinion. He is
an important player here and he is feeling good. In no other club can he find
the feeling people have for him here.
"He has scored 21 goals for the season and, every time, we say he is an
important player. Carlos is Carlos, a fantastic striker and a fantastic
player.
"I think that he stays next year. I don't think he can change his idea now we
are in the Champions League. We can have a better squad and better players."
Tevez, who appeared to wave farewell to the City crowd when he was replaced by
substitute Dedryck Boyata on 88 minutes, scored two stunning goals to help
Mancini's team move clear of Arsenal into third place.
City will secure third place, and avoid a potentially hazardous Champions
League qualifying tie in August, if they match or better Arsenal's result at
Fulham when they tackle Bolton at the Reebok on Sunday.
And Mancini admits that the prize of securing an automatic place in the
Champions League group stages is a genuine incentive for his players.
He said: "There is a difference between playing a qualifier and going straight
into the groups. We want to finish in third position and qualify for the
Champions League group and it would be perfect if we finish above Arsenal."
