REAL MADRID EYE UP CARLOS TEVEZ
Inter also monitoring City striker
REAL MADRID will be ready to tempt Carlos Tevez this summer if the Argentinian can't agree a new deal with Manchester City.
And Inter Milan will also be ready to move in for the 26-year-old forward.
Though Tevez joined City only last summer from Manchester United, his advisors believe he has not maximized his earning potential.
Tevez's controversial move from United was worth over £47million to management company MSI and gave the player a five-year deal worth £130,000 a week.
But I understand Tevez believes he should be entitled to at least the £160,000 paid to City flop Robinho.
And he knows his Argentina team-mate Lionel Messi is in on approaching £30m a year at Barcelona.
On the basis he can be a major force alongside Messi at the World Cup, Tevez is ready to press to become English football's top earner.
He knows he could top £200,000 a week at Madrid or go close to that at Inter, where he might have gone last summer.
Madrid have lost the 'wow' factor to rivals Barca this season, especially in the Champions league.
They want a new star to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo - as Tevez did at United.
Wayne Rooney is high on their wish list.
Rooney, though, is likely to seek an improvement in his deal at United rather than move to Spain.
That would leave Tevez as Real's main target at a fee of at least £60m.


BELLAMY BUST-UP ON EVE OF THE DERBY
Welsh firebrand clashes with Marwood
CRAIG BELLAMY was involved in a spectacular bust-up with Manchester City's football administrator Brian Marwood a day before yesterday's derby. Bellamy clashed with Marwood at the training ground when he demanded an advance on his £90,000-a-week salary.
Later, his outburst was the talk of his City team- mates at their Manchester hotel on Friday night.
Marwood was stunned by the request and told Bellamy that he would need boardroom approval.
The row was so heated that some of City's stars feared Bellamy might not play in the big clash. But the Welsh forward was named in the starting line-up and played the full 90 minutes as Roberto Mancini's side were beaten 1-0.
A source close to Bellamy said: "There was a major row and Craig will be meeting officials in the next few days to try to sort it out. There was never any question of him not playing."
Club officials confirmed the bust-up but insisted the matter would be resolved.
One told Sport of the World: "Craig and Brian enjoy an excellent working relationship and there is no rift. The matter will be resolved this week."

Joe Hart is a potential £8million target as Arsene Wenger steps up his search for a new goalkeeper.
Arsenal manager Wenger is also looking for a central ­defender and a midfielder to add to the ­arrival of striker Marouane Chamakh on a free transfer from Bordeaux.
Cash is available to ­strengthen a squad which has been depleted by the absence of six key players as this ­season approaches its finale.
The 2-1 defeat to Tottenham last week means ­Arsenal are set to finish a fifth successive season without a major trophy – and Wenger wants to ensure his squad is equipped to deal with future mishaps.
Hart is on loan at Birmingham from Manchester City. He is due to return to the North-West at the end of the season but will find himself behind Shay Given in the pecking order at Eastlands.
Hart’s form has been so ­impressive with Birmingham that he has been talked about as a possible for Fabio Capello’s England squad for the World Cup finals.
At 23, Hart will not be happy to be the understudy to Given and Wenger will have him watched in the closing matches of the season. Also on the Arsenal radar is West Ham’s Robert Green.

[ant london]

I'm not one to dwell on the anti-city (or more to the point pro-Munich) media bias (which does, unquestionably, exist)....but those top three stories are as clear an example of "let's destabilise City-itis" as you could hope to see

[sweenyuk]

Arse can have Given if they want, can't see him being our Goalie next season. I think Hart will be our #2 with a new world class gaolie as #1. None of the top teams rate Given

Why the fuck would he need to agree a new deal????? He has 5years left on his contract.

Well for starters I think the story's a load of trumped up shite, but if anyone was to believe it then your answer is in the rest of the Jackanory. He wants 160k like Robinho........allegedly

Well mr Robinho probably won't be here in Summer anyway after we swap him for Xavi (crosses fingers)

[JonnyAsh]

If he wants £160k let him have it, he is one of the few that deserves it. Anyway, we would never let ourselves be trumped by Real Madrid.
As for Joe Hart, well whoever has put his value at £8M needs to add a 1 before the 8, and even then he would be way out
