Manchester City's desire to sever their ties with Carlos Tevez will see Milan make an opening offer to take him on loan for the rest of the season before paying €20m (£17.2m) to sign him next summer.

Milan are aware that City want a permanent transfer in the January window, but the Italian club are hoping to negotiate a compromise for a player who has been on strike since 8 November.

The Serie A side have already agreed terms with Tevez and their vice-president, Adriano Galliani, said an official bid had now been emailed to City. "I hope that City accept our offer. I foiled a few enemies in Italy and Europe, though I can't say whom. We're in pole position now."

City will almost certainly reply that they are not willing to accept a loan arrangement but their manager, Roberto Mancini, reiterated there was no way back for Tevez in Manchester. "It is important to sell Carlos, for him and the club. If he has a chance to go to Italy I am happy for him."

Corriere dello Sport reported that Tevez had agreed a basic salary of £3.4m for this season, rising to £4.3m plus bonuses for the following three seasons. The latter sum is less than half his current salary in Manchester. "He's turning down a mountain of money," said Galliani. "He's not playing, he's a great player and if he does well with us we'll exercise the option. Tevez wants to join us, half the deal is done. Now we're awaiting a response from City."

While that Kia **** pockets yet more millions

[Nick77]

17.2 million, that's less than we paid for Downing ffs! I think we should boycott buying English players from now on unless they are in their last year of their contract or a free transfer...

[Baracus]

Why not boycott buying players just from North East of the boarder

[Baracus]

If I were City I'd reject the deal.

They (Kia and Tevez) are forcing through the deal on terms that best suit them and Ac Milan. They don't even have permission to Speak to Tevez, although its underhanded and gone through the Agent, still very Cuntish

Ac Milan are further away from 'My home Argentina'

He's wasted 2 -3 months doing nothing for City.

City can afford to make him waste away for another 5-6 months until the Summer.

Isn't there some rule that says you have to be selected for ~10% of games you're available for in order for you to be kept under contract at the club, if you don't then your contract becomes void.

If this is the case City would be in danger of losing him for nothing in the summer, presumably that's why the fee is so (relatively) low?

[BillobShaisley]

I'd have thought him being on strike would count the missed games as if he'd been selected under such circumstances.

AC Milan have announced that their bid to take Carlos Tevez on loan in January has been knocked back, but they are not giving up hope and expect a long negotiation process.

The Italians revealed earlier this week that they had agreed terms with the unsettled Manchester City striker and were waiting to hear from the Premier League club whether they could sign him on loan, with a view to a permanent move next summer.

City manager Roberto Mancini made it clear that he wanted to sell Tevez, who is currently back in his native Argentina after flying home last month without permission.

Milan have now confirmed that the two clubs are interested in different deals, but they have no intention of dropping their pursuit of the 27-year-old.

"We received an answer. You all know the situation," Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani told Sky Sport Italia, before going on to say that a number of other clubs were keen on Tevez.

"Manchester City want to sell the player outright, while we want him on loan with the right to buy. We are a big club and if players do well then we take up their options.

"It's true that Paris St Germain are looking at the Argentine now as well, so I think it will be a bit of a long negotiation process. I spoke to Leonardo and he told me the president of PSG is interested in Tevez.

"In any case, I don't want to make any predictions on the outcome of the negotiations, as there were many clubs on Tevez, including some Italians, an English side and PSG.

"We have already received City's response to our offer and they are asking for the player to be signed outright, so I hope to convince them to accept our proposal."

While Milan face a battle to bring in Tevez, their coach Massimiliano Allegri has already spoken of his excitement about the possible addition of such a player.

Allegri believes Milan's attacking options would be the envy of every other team in world football if a deal for the former Manchester United man can be agreed.

"It's better to have great players playing for you rather than against you," he said.

"If he joins it would strengthen a part of the team that is already world class and then we would have the best attack in the world."

Milan already have the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Antonio Cassano and Robinho on their books but Allegri does not believe the signing of another potentially combustible character would harm the team.

He explained: "As well as being young lads they're professionals and I believe it's easier to manage so-called hot-heads at Milan, although I believe that everyone has their own character and that has to be managed accordingly."

Everton putting a bid together
