Carlos Tevez is set to stun Manchester City fans by fighting for a summer move if the club fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Tevez has become increasingly disillusioned at life at Eastlands under manager Roberto Mancini, and his adviser Kia Joorabchian is believed to have contacted some of Europe's leading clubs as a contingency if City miss out on the top four.

City fans will be dismayed by the split between Tevez and Mancini, having taken the 26-year-old striker to their hearts following his arrival from Manchester United at the start of the campaign.

The Argentine has scored 28 goals this season and has been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award, which will be announced tonight.

But he publicly questioned the sacking of Mark Hughes in a recent interview and openly disagreed with Mancini's decision to make the players train twice a day.

He also voiced his displeasure about City using his image in a provocative 'Welcome to Manchester' poster campaign.

Significantly, Joorabchian, an important figure in Tevez's life, has fallen out with the hierarchy at City following the departure of Hughes and will not be averse to finding Tevez a new club if instructed to do so.

Real Madrid and Inter Milan will be among the contenders to sign him, but there could also be a surprise move from Liverpool, even though their own Champions League hopes are slim.

Liverpool hope the fact that Tevez's friend and Argentina team-mate Javier Mascherano is at the club will boost their chances, although the player would have to kick up a real fuss at Eastlands before City allowed him to move to Anfield for a cut-price £18million.

Mascherano is in contract talks with Liverpool but negotiations have dragged on for weeks. Manager Rafa Benitez admitted: 'We were very close, but I don't know if something has changed since the last time I spoke to him, which was a few days ago. I still expect him to sign.'

Daily Mail bollox eh?

We have him under contract, in other words we own him (unlike West Ham or the scum) he goes nowhere unless we agree to it.

Ahh I see, for a minute I thought you were hinting that he was demanding a new contract with bigger wages.

So let me get this straight; you mean we WON'T be selling him to almost bankrupt Liverpool? Phew!

OK, lets apply logic here. Tevez "wants out" if we dont get CL footy eh?

So liverpool then, apart from the fact that they cant afford the £40m plus it would take to get him and they wont be in the CL, it could happen I suppose.

Real Madrid - maybe they can borrow the money for the fee but he will only end up on their bench which is just where he doesnt want to be so thats out.

Inter Milan - have they got £40m plus for him, do they want him and would he actually get in their team?

the media really dont want us in the CL do they!

besides i reckon the owners would sooner boot bobby out rather than see tevez leave.

NoTW have a story coming out tomorrow saying it's Real Madrid for £60m. And yes, it's utter bollocks.

Tevez + ££££ for Torres could be an option though.

I think there could be legs in him going to Madrid.

They'll need the money for Torres unless they get taken over by someone incredibly rich.

I don't, they're about to offer Higuain a 5 year-deal and will more than likely be in for Villa again in the summer, not to mention that they deploy Ronaldo as a centre-forward. Tevez wouldn't get in there team every week so it would just be United last season all over again for him.

He will be at City next year and Mancini will begin to build a side around him.

Nope. We should just laugh at all the bollocks they print about us. It's pathetic.

Most south Americans seem to have a hankering for Madrid but we've paid big money & gone to a lot of trouble to get him contracted. I doubt there's any way we'd let him go so soon even if he wanted to.

Joe Bernstein has got previous for shit stirring with City. I think he resents us taking the place at the top that Newcastle once had.

I don't know about recent months but he came out with all manner of crap from the period when Frank took over & continued onwards. Can't remember which specific things he was on about now but it was all shite. Basically, y know, all the usual stories that they make up, none of which end in us being happy or successful. Half the time he stole other people's stuff & made out he'd got the info 1st hand. Other hacks believed him because he's a 'respected' journalist. 'smirk'.
