Manchester City Accept Corinthians Bid for Carlos Tevez

Manchester City captain Carlos Tevez could be leaving the Premier League after manager Roberto Mancini admitted that City had accepted a bid made by Corinthians.

The news comes after the bid which was rejected just days ago from the Brazilian side.

The bid previously rejected was in the vicinity of $56.3 million, and as reported by the Daily Mail Corinthians had improved their bid to $64.4 million just a week later.

There is no word on whether this will be the final price paid to Manchester City, but in terms of a pricing, this was the rough amount City was hoping to receive for Tevez.

There is no doubt that Tevez wanted to leave City. He made no secret of his desire to leave the Premier League and perhaps move back hope to South America. Despite his best efforts to secure a transfer away from the club last year, he remained at Etihad.

His sublime form throughout the season saw him score 20 goals in City's surge to the top of the English Premier League. In the end, City qualified for the Champions League, also winning the FA Cup in the process.

The reason behind Tevez's desire to leave the club is unknown. One would think that Tevez would like to stay and compete in the Champions League with City after spending a few years working to get the club in the prestigious competition.

Mancini went on to say "We have an agreement with Corinthians but Carlos now is still a City player." If all goes according to plan Tevez will agree to personal terms with the club and leave City after signing from Manchester United.

It is believed that a big sponsor of the Brazilian side is willing to foot much of Tevez's salary.

He is currently in Argentina after missing the penalty which saw Argentina ultimately lose to Uruguay and get knocked out of the Copa America
