Carlo Tevez's representative Kia Joorabchian confirmed that the Argentine has started negotiations with the club.

The 27-year-old footballer announced last week that he wants to leave . The reason for this is his desire to spend more time with his family.

"Corinthians" contacted us, so negotiations have already begun," said Joorabchian. "Both Carlos and I want to reach an agreement. Tevez still has unfinished business there, as he wants to win the "Copa Libertadores" tournament.

We already have an offer from "Corinthians," so everything depends on "Man City". We are all working towards a successful outcome, and I can say that an agreement is close.

It is said that the value of the deal is over 40 million euros.

Tevez scored 53 goals in 86 matches for the Manchester team and helped secure a spot in the Champions League tournament.
