Manchester City striker Tevez is in the headlines once again after a ?40million move to Corinthians fell through.
The Argentine is a genius on the pitch - but a nightmare to manage off it.
Here, TEAMtalk looks at the background to his many moves.
2004: Joins Brazilian side Corinthians from Boca Juniors in an USD 18million deal which is financed by Media Sports Investments, a group of investors headed by Kia Joorabchian, who also own a controlling stake in Corinthians.
2007: March - Seven months after joining West Ham with Corinthians team-mate Javier Mascherano, the Hammers are charged by the Premier League for breaching their rules in relation to signing players with third-party agreements.
April - West Ham are fined ?5.5million with the verdict also ruling the registration of Tevez can be terminated by the Premier League, although Tevez is later cleared to play on.
July - FIFA recommend the Tevez case is referred to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Joorabchian opts to issue High Court proceedings against West Ham.
August - West Ham confirm they have reached a ?2million settlement with Tevez's representatives, allowing the Argentinian to leave the club for Manchester United.
2009: May - Accuses United of showing him a lack of respect and states his desire to leave Old Trafford.
July - Completes move to United's rivals Manchester City.
2010: April - City manager Roberto Mancini tells Tevez he can leave in the summer if he is not happy at the club after the striker questions his training methods.
December - Just days after Tevez claims he is happy at City despite missing his children, he hands in a written transfer request which is rejected. Tevez subsequently withdraws the request and expresses "absolute commitment" after clear-the-air talks.
2011: May - Issues statement saying he would remain at City if his family situation could be resolved, but insists his daughters must come first.
July - Confirms his intention to leave City. Agreement is reached with former club Corinthians for ?40million transfer only for deal to collapse when the Brazilian club claim it is impossible to complete a deal before the end of the Brazilian transfer window. Joorabchian insists he is not "overly worried" by the transfer not going through and expects other bids to follow.
