MANCHESTER, United Kingdom: Argentinian international striker Carlos Tevez looks poised to end his roller coaster stay at English Premier League side Manchester City by joining Italian champions Juventus, the Press Association reported late on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old, who joined City from bitter Manchester rivals United in 2009, will undergo a medical today, although he has yet to agree personal terms on a deal which could cost the Turin club up to £13.5m (€16m).
This follows talks between City director of football Txiki Begiristain and his Juventus counterparts and new club manager Manuel Pellegrini agreed Tevez should be allowed to end his controversial four-year stay.
Although Juventus will only be paying an initial €9m, a further six could be payable if various clauses are met over the course of what is understood will be a three-year contract.
Tevez, who began his spell in England in the 2006/07 season with West Ham and became a folk hero there by scoring the goal that preserved their Premier League status in 2006, captained City to the 2011 FA Cup victory two years. AFP
