Report: Manchester United Agree Fee For Carlos Tevez

The Argentine striker could sign for the Red Devils on a permanent basis, provided they meet his wage demands...

The Iron Fist of El Apache. Carlos Tevez revels in his strike which helped Manchester United to a 4-2 victory over Derby in the Carling Cup (PA)
According to a report in the British tabloid The Sun, Manchester United have agreed to pay the £26 million demanded by Carlos Tevez's owners to purchase his economic rights.

Apparently, all that is standing in his way of becoming a Red Devil on a permanent basis is reaching an accord with regard to wage demands.

It is claimed that the 25-year-old has been earning around £95,000-a-week during the last two seasons while he was on loan at Old Trafford.

However, it is said that the 50-time capped Argentina international wants parity with the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Dimitar Berbatov, who are believed to be paid £110,000-a-week.

Should United fail to reach an agreement with 'El Apache', it seems that Chelsea and Manchester City are waiting in the wings to sign him up.

However, it appears that one club he will almost certainly not be joining is Liverpool, as Sky Sports is reporting that he has ruled out the possibility of moving to the Merseyside-based outfit.
