Internacional interested in Carlos Tevez

Xinhua, February 14, 2016 Adjust font size:

Brazilian club Internacional are considering making an offer for Argentine idol Carlos Tevez, according to reports in the Brazilian press.

The move comes after the loss of one of the club's finest players of the last decade, Andres d'Alessandro, who has made the switch to Buenos Aires giants River Plate, initially on a six-month loan.

According to Gazeta Esportiva, a possible transfer could be facilitated by late payments of the 32-year-old's reported US$2 million-a-year contract.

Any potential bid will be far from simple for the Gaucho outfit however, who are preparing a special package payment to meet the player's wage demands.

Tevez has already found success in Brazil with Sao Paulo giants Corinthians. In 2005, he helped the club to the Brazilian league crown, and has repeatedly been linked with a move back to the current national champions, who romped to the title late last year.

Tevez has also played for Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus in Europe, as well as making over 60 appearances for the Argentine national side. Endit
