Galliani still confident of luring Tevez

Galliani still confident of luring
Tevez
9 December 2011
AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani
insists Manchester City striker Carlos
Tevez is still holding out for a move to
San Siro.
A transfer appeared imminent after
Galliani confirmed on Tuesday that he
had agreed terms with the Argentine
star's agent Kia Joorabchian to push
through a transfer.
However, a deal hinges on Manchester
City's approval, and news of interest from
Paris Saint-Germain has now thrown the
agreement into doubt.
"I can confirm the inclusion of Paris Saint-
Germain (in the race to sign Tevez), and
we are aware (of that)," Galliani told Sky
Sports Italia.
"I haven't heard from (PSG sporting
director) Leonardo as he works for
another club and can do what he wants."
"I expect to learn more in the coming
days, but there is time to close the deal
until the end of the transfer window,
even if I would prefer to take him to Italy
before."
However, despite the revelation, Galliani
remains undeterred in his efforts to bring
in the striker to Milan, although he admits
the onus is now on forcing City to part
with the player on his terms.
"We all know that Manchester City wants
to sell the player and we want to loan
him," he said.
"We have to convince them to accept our
conditions, but it will not be easy. Tevez?
He wants to join Milan."
AC Milan travel to Bologna on Sunday in
Serie A action, as they try to keep the heat
on league-leaders Juventus.
