Tevez could quit City - Argentina striker reportedly suffering from homesickness in Manchester

Carlos Tevez has revealed that it is 'possible' he will quit the Premier League.

Manchester City are reportedly prepared to offer the 26-year-old a £250,000-a-week five-year contract in an attempt to persuade him to stay.

However, the Argentina striker is suffering from homesickness and is rumoured to be planning to quit Eastlands to spend more time with his two daughters.

He told The People: "Will I leave the Premier League? It is possible, but I don't have a fixed date."

Meanwhile, Tevez says he expects to be 'fully recuperated' by the time the Manchester derby come around on Wednesday night.

The forward, who has scored 30 times in 44 Premier League games since his move across Manchester could even return against West Brom on Sunday after making good progress.

The City forward, who has been back in his homeland receiving treatment on a thigh injury, says he cannot wait to face his old club when they meet at Eastlands.

Recuperated
He said: "I plan to be fully recuperated for the Manchester derby. The match is very important for me and the club.

"I have fought hard to be in good condition for that game and I'll be ready.

"I have forgotten Ferguson. For me he is the past - if I score any goal I will celebrate.

"I do have respect but this match is very special after what happened last season.

"We all need to remain patient and retain confidence in the project at this club. We can still improve our image."

Tevez makes latest quit hint

Carlos Tevez has dropped a bombshell on City, revealing he could be set to quit the Premier League.

The Argentina international is understood to be homesick and wants to spend more time with his family, which could see him turn his back on the chance to become the highest paid player in the history of English football.

City are so desperate to keep hold of their star striker that they are prepared to offer him a bumper £250,000 a week five-year deal.

He is already under contract until 2014, but there are growing fears that Tevez will either return to Argentina or quit football all together.

He said: “Will I leave the Premier League? It is possible, but I don't have a fixed date.”

The 25-year-old has increasingly hinted that he will cut his career short, complaining of tiredness and the lack of time he gets to spend with his wife and two daughters.

“I'm keen to get a bit of calm,” he said last year. “I've won a lot. Football has saturated me.
Quit

“I'm a little tired of so much football, so much football...I want to enjoy my family a bit.”

Last month he added: “When I talk about quitting, I mean quitting football, not just the national team. But at the moment I still don't know if this is going to be in one month, one year, three or five years.

"I have the idea of quitting in my mind. Maybe one of these days, I will just wake up and say no more football."

For now though Tevez is focused on putting one over his former employers, United, in Wednesday’s derby, when he is set to make a comeback from a thigh injury.

"I plan to be fully recuperated for the Manchester derby,” he said. “The match is very important for me and the club.

"I have fought hard to be in good condition for that game and I'll be ready.

"I have forgotten Ferguson. For me he is the past - if I score any goal I will celebrate. I do have respect, but this match is very special after what happened last season.

"We all need to remain patient and retain confidence in the project at this club. We can still improve our image."
