TRANSFER talks between Manchester City and AC Milan over Carlos Tevez appear to be heading for stalemate after coach Roberto Mancini yesterday again ruled out loaning the Argentine striker to the Serie A side.
Manchester City is expected to meet AC Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani tomorrow, a source close to the club said, but neither team appears to be willing to change their stance over a permanent deal.
"We're not going to take him outright, we're offering a free loan with the right to buy in June," Galliani told Italian press on Monday. But Mancini yesterday said this was unacceptable and indicated the Premier League leader will take a tough stance on the issue.
"We want Carlos to come back and play football and the best solution for us is to sell him. We can't let him leave on loan," he said.
The former Inter Milan manager also said it set a bad precedent for City to allow key players to go out on loan deals.
"But when we want to sell them, they have to go on loan. This is not good. It is not correct for the other players.
"Manchester City paid Carlos a lot of money for three years.
"It is correct that if one club, it could be Milan, Juventus, PSG, Inter, want him, they pay Carlos for his value. This is correct."
The meeting between the clubs was expected to take place in Manchester after Galliani said that he will be travelling there to discuss the move after fighting off competition from French side Paris St. Germain.
"The player wants to come to us and not PSG and we hope City accept the offer," Galliani said.
