Roberto Mancini admitted Friday that unsettled striker Carlos Tevez could be forced to stay at Manchester City because “there isn’t a team that wants to take him”. Tevez is back training with City ahead of the new Premier League season after representing Argentina at Copa America.
But the striker has made it clear he wants to leave and has been linked with a move away from the club. However, Mancini said on Friday that it appears more and more likely that Tevez could be forced to remain at City as there was no interest in the player. “I don’t know if he will stay but it is difficult for him to leave,” said the Italian at a press conference ahead of City’s opening game of the season against Swansea on Monday.
“Carlos is here and there isn’t a team that wants to take him. I’m happy if he stays.” Mancini has spent around £51 million (58 million euros) in the transfer market this summer for Argentina forward Sergio Aguero, full-back Gael Clichy from Arsenal and centre back Stefan Savic from Partizan Belgrade.
