Manchester City feel they've done great business offloading Carlos Tevez to Juventus. The Daily Mail says Tevez, 29, is set to sign a three-year contract in Turin once he undergoes a medical on Wednesday although sources close to the player insist that personal terms have yet to be agreed.
The two clubs struck a deal yesterday after Juve general manager Beppe Marotta and sporting director Fabio Paratici flew to England to conclude negotiations yesterday.
The basic fee of £7.6m will rise to £10m if, as expected, the Italians qualify for the Champions League in each of the next three seasons. City could also receive up to £2.5m if Juventus win a trophy in that time.
Considering that they will save an additional £17m in wages and bonuses over the course of the final year of Tevez's £196,000-a-week contract, City chiefs were last night understood to be delighted at the sale of player who would have been a free agent next summer.
