Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo has conceded that the French outfit are willing to "make sacrifices" to acquire the services of Carlos Tevez.
The Argentine has been frozen out of the Manchester City squad since allegedly refusing to go on as a substitute during a Champions League clash against Bayern Munich earlier in the season.
There has since been a lot of speculation concerning where the forward's future lies, with Inter and AC Milan also being linked with a move for his services.
"Tevez has a great contract with Manchester City and it's a difficult situation to deal with," Leonardo said, according to Le Parisien. "If PSG has an opportunity, we will do [a deal] if it's good for everyone.
"The transfer window is very difficult," said the former AC Milan boss. "Now you do not want to do foolish things. We want to do things well to protect the club, with players who want to come, who believe in the project.
"From that side, it's good [in Tevez's case]. He has a good relationship with [PSG manager Carlo] Ancelotti. He really believes that here, we can do things. But after, there are contractual issues. It is true that with a player like Tevez, we know that we must make sacrifices."
Meanwhile, The Sunday Mirror reports that Tevez is ready to test City's resolve of wanting a permanent transfer and not a loan move to AC Milan.
Inter have also been linked with a move for the striker.
