The star has made no secret of the fact that he wants amove. Brazilian side Corinthians failed in a bid last month and Inter Milanlooks to be the most likely destination for the player.

The Italian giants are believed to be preparing their offer,although it is unlikely they will be willing to meet City's ?50million askingprice.

They were prepared to accept ?40m from Corinthians but wouldwant an inflated fee to lose him to a Champions League rival.

But Tevez could now be forced to start the season with City,who lost the Community Shield to his old club Manchester United ahead of thestart of the new Premier League season this weekend.

Back in June, Tevez went on a chatshow in Argentina to tellviewers how he wanted to get away from life in Manchester.

Asked what he would do at the end of his contract, Tevezsaid: 'I'm never going back to Manchester, not even on holiday, not foranything.'

He added: 'I don't have any new friends. I am always with myfamily and lifelong friends. I don't even leave my house. I'm the stay-at-hometype.

'There is nothing to do in Manchester. The problem is I'mstill speaking very poor English.'

When pressed on what was wrong with Manchester, Tevez said:'The weather, everything. It has nothing.'

Despite his return, City coach David Platt has revealedTevez is unlikely to play in City's opening league match at home to promotedSwansea.

Platt told Sky Sports News: 'He has just finished the CopaAmerica and had three weeks off, which the players need. There's onlyeight-nine days before that game [against Swansea], I think it'll be tight.

'But Carlos is a strange one, in the sense he doesn't need alot of time to get back fit - so we'll see. Once he's back in the building,we'll look at things then.'
