More and more reports keep on surfacing about Carlos Tevez' future. On Tuesday, apparently Tevez could join Manchester United for free. After the win over Wigan, Tevez' advisor said that there is no way that could happen. Today, The Sun (for all my foreign readers, The Sun is a British tabloid) are claiming that it could happen.
The Sun claim that Tevez may be able to break his contract with his owners, MSI (Media Sports Investment), under European Law. This is because MSI are are an entity, not a football club.
"It is unique and bizarre that an entity, rather than a club, owns a player," explained Chris Heaton-Harris, Member of the European Parliament.
"In employment terms, Carlos Tevez has a contract himself with this company. But if he went to the European Commission and said he wanted out of it, he would get European support.
"It is just an employment contract. You can’t keep a person to a contract that he doesn’t want to continue in.
"Under European law, he has the right to break this contract."
Whether Tevez wants to do that is a totally different question. I don't know what kind of relationship Tevez has with MSI but they brought him to England and he might feel that he owes them.
We have also found out today that Tevez has turned down a €44.7 (£40m) million bid from Real Madrid because he wants to stay in England.
I don't know what is going to happen but I want Tevez to stay and I really do hope that we will see him playing in a Manchester United shirt for many seasons to come.
