Player Carlos Tevez has formally addressed the club's management asking to be released, but received a negative response. It is said that the 26-year-old footballer, after four seasons in England, misses his native Argentina and would like to return home. "We are disappointed with this situation, especially with Carlos' agent," said the statement from "Man City." "Coach Roberto Mancini and the team have always been sensitive to Tevez's personal affairs and the fact that his family is far from England. "Over the past few months, we have received requests from the player's agent to negotiate better contract terms, and more recently - to extend the contract for another year. "However, 'Man City' maintains a policy of not negotiating in the middle of the season, so the negotiations did not take place. Carlos' contract still has three and a half years left and he is the highest-paid player in the club." Tevez is the undisputed leader of the team's attacking line this season - in 15 English Premier League matches, he has scored 10 goals. Key moments of Tevez's career at "Man City":
