Manchester City are in shock after captain Carlos Tevez submitted a transfer request last night. Reports emerged on Saturday evening that Tevez had handed in a written transfer request and this has been confirmed to PA Sport, even though neither party has made any official comment.
Tevez is believed to have taken the action amid growing turmoil in his private life, although it is not yet known whether City will accept his request or not.
It is not known exactly what Tevez's plans are. However, he desperately misses his two daughters who are back home in Argentina, and returning to South America is one option, as is retirement, even though in an interview with City's official club magazine published earlier this week, Tevez insisted he had no such intention.
