Want-awaystriker Carlos Tevez, seen here, returned to Manchester City's training
ground on Monday with the Argentina forward's future still up for
debate.
Tevez has repeatedly inisted he wants to leave
City, having said he wanted to be closer to his two young children, who
live with his estranged wife in Argentina.
But a possible move to
Brazilian side Corinthians broke down last month and Tevez has since
been linked with joining Italian giants Inter Milan.
Tevez, who
joined City from local rivals Manchester United two seasons ago, told an
Argentinian television programme in June he would not return to
Manchester even for a vacation and complained about the weather."
He
said: "There's nothing to do in Manchester. There's two restaurants and
everything's small. It rains all the time. You can't go anywhere.
"There comes a moment where you say 'Where am I going to go with my family?' and you begin to feel bad.
"Of
course, one trains, plays, does things, and when the family or friends
come one feels bad and you can't take them to the movies because they
don't understand anything.
"I will not return to Manchester, not for a vacation, not anything."
Tevez,
27, was City's captain last season when they won the FA Cup -- their
first major piece of silverware in 35 years -- and finished third in the
English Premier League, won by Manchester United.
The forward,
who has recently been playing for Argentina in the Copa America, was not
at Wembley on Sunday when United beat City 3-2 in the Community Shield,
the traditional curtain-raiser to the English season that pits last
term's champions against the FA Cup-holders.
