Manchester City situation is ‘comical’, says Tevez

Carlos Tevez has reportedly described his stand-off with Manchester City as ‘comical’.

The Argentine striker has not played for City since September and returned to his homeland without permission in November, earning him a fine of six weeks wages.

He was expected to complete a move away from the club in January but, having seen Inter Milan, AC Milan and PSG withdraw their interest, will now remain a City player until the summer.

"I just think the whole situation has become almost comical," he was quoted as saying by Kicker. "I wanted to leave City and had offers from clubs in other leagues, both Italian and Spanish. But in the end it all collapsed because City wouldn't accept any of the offers.

"They say at City that I cost them a lot of money and so they don't want to give me away on the cheap. But they don't want to loan me out, either. I really have no idea what will happen in the coming months

"I sent City a letter in which I told them why I wanted to go. In the last few days I've also contacted the Premier League to appeal against the fine which City have imposed on me.

"I'm waiting now for an answer from the Premier League. Going to the League is the only option I've got right now."
