Juventus agree a £10 million deal for Carlos Tevez with Manchester City
Carlos Tevez is set to end his unsettled stay in both England and Manchester after Manchester City and Juventus came to terms for Tevez for £10 million. The 29 year old is set to sign a three year contract in Turin when he is done with his medical on Wednesday.

An initial fee of £7.6 million will rise to £10 million if the Italians qualify for the Champions League in each of the next three seasons which is a very likely occurrence. City will also receive up to £2.5 million if Juventus win a trophy in these three years.

The Citizens’ chiefs are believed to be delighted at having sold the former Manchester United and West Ham striker a year before he became a free agent so that they can recover some of their initial investment.

Both Milan and Juve were keen on buying the Argentinian international for a while now but Milan’s chances dimmed after they failed to raise funds through their attempted sale of flopped signing Robinho, incidentally also a former Manchester City player.

Tevez was one of the most controversial players in the whole of England. The striker, who was amazing during his time at Old Trafford, left the club for their arch-rivals Manchester City. His drama didn't end here; he also put in a transfer request just one and half years later, which was rejected. This led to him refusing to take the pitch as a substitute in a Champions League game against Bayern Munich and ended with a prolonged sabbatical after a fall out with then Manager Roberto Mancini.

Even with all of this going around off the pitch, he was the most consistent striker for Manchester City with 17 goals in the 39 appearances last season, doing better than fellow strikers Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko.

Tevez leaves England having scored 114 goals in 267 games for West Ham, Manchester United and Manchester City and having collected multiple honours, including three Premier League titles, one FA Cup, one Champions League, two Community shields and one FIFA Club World Cup
