Carlos Tevez slams 'strange' transfer situation after Manchester City reject offers from Inter, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain
The 27-year-old forward claims the club prevented him from taking up offers "from Spain and Italy" but sees a move to Brazil or Argentina as a possibility in the future

Carlos Tevez has expressed his frustration at his transfer situation and has claimed that Manchester City rejected offers from Inter, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain during the January transfer window.
Tevez has been searching for Eastlands exit since September, following his alleged refusal to come on as a substitute against Bayern Munich, while the player has been in exile in his native Argentina since November.
The striker insisted that he wanted to take up one of the offers made but that City blocked a potential move, with Tevez describing how "something always wasn't right" with the deals on the table.
"The situation is very strange for me," Tevez told Kicker.
"I wanted to go and had offers from other leagues, from Spain and Italy. But it did not work out in the end because City did not accept any of the offers.
"There were offers from [AC] Milan, Inter and PSG. But something always wasn't right."
Tevez went on to predict that he could move away from Europe and back to South America in Brazil or Argentina, but added that he was beginning to doubt whether City would allow him to leave the club on loan.
"If all regularities are right and the clubs agree a transfer with City, I can see myself going there, even on loan," he said.
"But after all that has happened with Milan or Inter, I don't know if City wants me to leave on loan."
The former Manchester United forward also felt that the bad image he had developed since being marginalised at City was unfair.
"I cannot understand that but I cannot do much against it," Tevez said. "People may think what they want."
