Tevez may stay at City: Mancini

Saturday, August 13, 2011



Unsettled striker Carlos Tevez could be forced to stay at Manchester City because "there isn't a team that wants to take him."Roberto Mancini admitted Friday.Tevez is back training with City ahead of the new Premier League season after representing Argentina at Copa America.But the striker has made it clear he wants to leave and has been linked with a move away from the club.
However, Mancini said that it appears more and more likely that Tevez could be forced to remain at City as there was no interest in the player."I don't know if he will stay but it is difficult for him to leave," said Mancini at a press conference ahead of City's opening game of the season against Swansea."Carlos is here and there isn't a team that wants to take him. I'm happy if he stays."Mancini has spent around £51 million (58 million euros) in the transfer market this summer for Argentina forward Sergio Aguero, full-back Gael Clichy from Arsenal and centre back Stefan Savic from Partizan Belgrade.But his hopes of securing Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri, a player Mancini has been chasing all summer, before the opening game are up in the air, much to the manager's frustration.Nasri, who is valued at around £22 million, has not been included in Arsenal's squad for Saturday's match against Newcastle."I don't know the situation at the moment," added Mancini when asked about Nasri.
