Brazilian giants Corinthians have tabled an offer of £35m for Manchester City captain Carlos Tevez.
Unsettled Argentine wants to leave City after two years with the club and has cited family reasons, saying last week that he wants to be closer to his two children and their mother who live in Argentina.
It initially seemed a unbelievable prospect that Tevez would be able to move to South America, as no club was believed to have the financial power to sign him from City. But the offer from Brazilian club Corinthians may impress City.
It would mean 27-year-old Tevez joining a team who are not their rivals in any competition, and he would be rejoining the club he played for from 2004 to 2006, before making a divisive move to West Ham(England).
Until Corinthians made their interest known to Manchester City, Tevez looked certain to remain in Europe, possibly to Real Madrid or AC Milan, both potential Champions League rivals of City in the coming season.
Tevez has netted 53 goals in 86 appearances for the Blues since joining from city rivals Manchester United, highlighting what a key figure he is in manager Roberto Mancini's squad.
He struggled for form after recovering from a hamstring injury towards the end of last season but still finished level with Dimitar Berbatov as leading scorer in the Barclays Premier League and helped City to the Champions League Spot.
