Kia spearheading Tevez peace talks with Man City

Kia Joorabchian has been spearheading Carlos Tevez's peace talks with Manchester City.

Tevez's return to Manchester comes following negotiations between City's acting chief executive John MacBeath and Tevez's representative Joorabchian.

Joorabchian said: "He's saying he will get himself ready as the club have requested him to do, because the club have said Carlos coming back can only be an asset to them.

"I've spoken to the club today, I've spoken to the club regularly on a daily basis and I think everyone agrees that from a football point of view Carlos can only be an asset.

"Now him and Mancini have obviously managed to resolve issues. What he had explained in his interview is how he felt back then. I think that the club and Carlos are taking this in a very positive way.

"He has a lot of repairs to do with the fans and he realises that and he has said that he's ready to apologise if he's done something wrong.

"And he's said that he sincerely never felt that he was doing something wrong at the time, and he understands that his actions may not have implied that."
