Premier League To Probe Any Tevez Transfer To Manchester City
The Argentine's move from the red to the blue side of Manchester has the PL looking very closely at any potential transfer.
Jun 23, 2009 10:02:52 PM
The Guardian website has reported that the Premier League will ensure that there is no element of a third-party agreement in any proposed transfer deal that Carlos Tevez is involved in.
Yesterday, Manchester City officially announced that Paraguayan striker Roque Santa Cruz had at last joined from Blackburn Rovers, and they are aware that the league will have to be closely consulted over any move for Tevez due to his association with Media Sports Investments (MSI).
Since moving to West Ham United in the summer of 2006 from Brazilian club Corinthians, Tevez's career has been complicated due to his economic rights being owned by the consortium which was once spearheaded by Kia Joorabchian, now the Argentine's adviser.
The Premier League changed its rules last June and now prohibits any third-party element being included in a player's contract.
A third-party agreement with West Ham and the club's failure to declare this led to a record fine of £5.5 million and a two-year legal battle with Sheffield United.
A dramatic last day of the 2006-07 season saw the Blades relegated while West Ham survived, after Tevez scored a winner for the Hammers against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
West Ham agreed to pay around £20m to the Blades after they claimed Tevez's goals was the reason the Irons were able to stay up.
