Kia Joorabchian has revealed that Carlos Tevez is set to stay at Manchester City until at least the summer.

The Premier League leaders have failed to agree deals with AC Milan, Inter Milan and Paris St Germain for the wantaway Argentine during the January transfer window and it is now looking likely he will remain in the north-west for the rest of this season.

Joorabchian told Keys and Gray: “We’ve been in negotiations with three big clubs but I don’t think they have reached the figures Manchester City want.

“Carlos will remain at Man City until the summer. They [Man City] would like to move him on but only at a certain price.

The striker’s advisor, however, believes Tevez will leave City in the summer.

He added: "This summer will open up a lot of markets. All of the big clubs are looking for players who can play in the Champions League.

“Carlos Tevez is cup-tied and that creates a big obstacle. You’re spending a lot of money on the transfer and the salary and he can’t play Champions League. You have three and half months and then you can re-structure your team, and buy Carlos, in the summer.”

And although Joorabchian has ruled out a move to Paris this month, he expects PSG to be among the front-runners for the forward's signature come the end of the season.

He added: “PSG want to build a long-term project and I think Carlos is six months too early for them. But there is a big chance he will go there in the summer.”
