Corinthians plot Carlos Tevez move

Corinthians will have a second try to sign Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez once the transfer window reopens. According to reports, Corinthians will offer 30m GBP for the Argentinian.

Edu, the former Arsenal midfielder and current Corinthians director of football, previously suggested that a deal for Carlos Tevez would not be possible. However, in an interview with Sky Sports yesterday, Edu hinted that there could still be a move in the pipeline: "It was quite difficult to sign him because at the time it was shortly before our transfer window.

"Now we are here [in England] and we will talk and see what the situation is and we will look to sign him in the summer.

"I will talk to the president - we offered 40million euros and now the money we had we have spent some of as that is football.

"We want to see how Tevez is and what his situation is, we will see if we can do a deal - he is very famous in Brazil and everyone loves him, and the fans want him."
