Corinthians is set to propose another offer to Manchester City for star striker Carlos Tevez, according to a report in Lancenet.
The Brazilian club have reportedly had their initial bid of 40 million Euros rejected by City as it fell some way short of the player's 56 million Euros valuation.
However, Corinthians, where Tevez played from 2003 to 2006, is not ready to throw in the towel just yet, and has made another push with a view to signing the Argentine.
Lancenet reports that Corinthians will still offer 40 million Euros for Tevez, but that a bonus clause has been added to the proposal which will see City receive an unspecified fee if the Argentine's stint at the club proves to be successful, in terms of results, marketing and shirt sales.
Corinthians has given City a deadline of Sunday to answer to its offer as the Brazilian transfer window closes on 20 July.
Reports in England claimed on Friday Corinthians had increased the transfer fee in a bid to persuade City to part ways with Tevez, but the Brazilian club have rejected such stories.
"That is not true. We did not alter the figure in the offer. I cannot reveal details about the negotiations," Corinthians vice-director of fooball Duilio Alves told Lancenet. "What I can say is what I have said before. We are still in negotiations with City to bring in Tevez. Talks are still ongoing."
Tevez, who joined Manchester City in 2009, has voiced his desire to leave the club as he wishes to be closer to his family, who are residing in Buenos Aires.
