MILAN:
Manchester City have rejected AC Milan’s loan offer for Argentine striker Carlos Tevez, according to the Serie A club. Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani said City want to sell the player. “Manchester City want us to buy Tevez definitively and we have suggested that we sign the player on loan, with an option to purchase,” said Galliani. “We’re not changing our position.” City had already indicated they would only accept a permanent move for Tevez, who has fallen out of favour with coach Roberto Mancini, but Galliani hopes they will change their minds. “It’s going to be a long negotiation,” he said.
