He signed a contract that's estimated to be worth tens of millions of pounds, and which still has three-and-a-half years to run.

And while a statement from Carlos Tevez stressed he has "no personal issue" with the manager Roberto Mancini, the striker has made it very clear he doesn't see his future 預(yù)見(jiàn)他的未來(lái) as being at Manchester City.

"It is something I have felt for some time and have spent many hours thinking this through", the striker said.

However, the club already rejected a written transfer request 轉(zhuǎn)會(huì)申請(qǐng) where he told bosses he wanted to leave to be closer to his family in Argentina.

A statement issued by Man City on Sunday said:

"This is both an unfortunate and unwelcome distraction 令人失望并分心的事情， and the club will remain focused on the games ahead in what is turning out to be a very promising season 大有希望獲勝的賽季".

While Tevez has refused to be drawn on 談?wù)?the specifics of the individuals he has clashed with, he emphasised that his relationship "with certain executives and individuals at the club has broken down and is now beyond repair 無(wú)法修補(bǔ)".



Club management are playing hardball 向某人顯示強(qiáng)硬態(tài)度 with Tevez and say they will seek compensation for breach of contract 違約 if the striker refuses to play.

The Argentinean has been an integral part 必不可少的一部分 of Man City's growing success since joining from rivals United in the summer of 2009, following a two-year spell at Old Trafford.

City have stated "the door remains open 大門(mén)依然敞開(kāi) for Carlos to be selected to play" but his determination to leave the club may make it difficult for Mancini to include Tevez in the team.
