Carlos Tévez to leave Man United this summer

Sunday, June 21, 2009

Manchester United have confirmed Carlos Tévez will be leaving Old Trafford this summer following the conclusion of his two-year loan.

United said on Saturday they had agreed to pay the £25.5 million fee required to secure the 25-year-old's services permanently and offered the striker a lucrative five-year contract.

However, despite the prospect of becoming one of the highest paid players at the the club, the Argentine has decided to go.

A United statement said: "Following contact received from Carlos Tévez's advisors last night, in advance of the deadline the club set for concluding negotiations, Manchester United announces that Carlos will not be signing a new contract with the club.

"The club agreed to pay the option price of £25.5 million and offered Carlos a five-year contract which would have made him one of its highest paid players.

"Disappointingly however, his advisors informed the club that, despite the success he has enjoyed during one of the club's most successful periods, he does not wish to continue playing for Manchester United.

"The club would like to thank Carlos for his services over the last two seasons and wishes him good luck for the future."

The news will be greeted with dismay by United fans, who have warmed to Tévez's all-action style during his time at Old Trafford that has included successive Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2008.
