Inter: No Tevez talks

Date published: 03 May 2011


INTER Milan president Massimo Moratti insists his club have not held any talks about a possible move to sign Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez this summer.

The Argentinian forward was reported to have met with Inter officials during a recent trip to Italy, but Moratti claims there has been no contact between his club and the 27-year-old forward.

When asked about Tevez's recent trip to Milan, Moratti said: "I saw that on television, but there is no connection at all with us."

Tevez has three years remaining on his City contract but there is growing speculation he will leave this summer, having made a transfer request in December, later withdrawn.

The fourth-placed Blues moved seven points clear of Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in the Barclays Premier League table after a 2-1 victory over West Ham at Eastlands.

Nigel De Jong notched his first goal for the club, and Pablo Zabaleta doubled the lead before Demba Ba replied for the Hammers.

City now require just two more wins to guarantee inclusion in next season’s Champions League qualifying round.
