Incoming Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is set for crunch talks with Carlos Tevez.

The Daily Star says his first task will be to hold talks with unsettled striker Tevez.

The Argentine ace has emerged as a top target of Italian champions Juventus.

Tevez's representatives last night played down speculation he could be set to join the Serie A giants, but Juve bosses are keen on discussing a deal.

The controversial Argentine striker is entering the final 12 months of his Etihad contract and is known to have an open mind about his future.
