CARLOS Tevez, on a self-imposed exile in his native Argentina, has appealed to the Premier League against the six-week fine imposed on him by Manchester City after he returned home without permission in November.
The Premier League leaders imposed the punishment on the 27-year-old forward after finding him guilty of gross misconduct on December 22.
A media consultant working for Tevez confirmed the appeal had been lodged. It should be heard by the Premier League some time in February.
Tevez has been in dispute with the club since failing to heed coach Roberto Mancini's instructions to warm up and come on as a substitute during a Champions League match with Bayern Munich in September. Tevez has not played since.
British media widely reported last week that so far Tevez has lost around 9.0 million pounds (US$14.11 million) in wages and bonuses. He has appealed against the punishment once, but that appeal was dismissed on January 7 after an internal club hearing.
With the January transfer window closing later yesterday, it appears likely that Tevez will remain a City player, in name at least until the end of the season, meaning the impasse between the club and Tevez will continue for several more months until the end of the season.
Elsewhere, Kevin De Bruyne became the third Belgian youngster to join Chelsea in the space of six months after completing a move from Racing Genk yesterday.
The 20-year-old winger, who has been tracked by Chelsea for some time, signed a 5-1/2-year deal for a reported fee of 9 million pounds but will return to Genk on loan for the rest of the season.
In Italy, World Cup winner Vincenzo Iaquinta moved to Serie A struggler Cesena on loan from Juventus on the last day of the winter transfer window. Iaquinta won the World Cup with Italy in 2006.
