Diego Maradona has ruled out moving for Manchester City rebel Carlos Tevez.

The Argentine legend is now in charge of wealthy Dubai outfit Al Wasl and has kept a close eye on his countryman's woes in England.

But Maradona, who coached the £50m-rated striker while in charge of Argentina, said: "Tevez is very expensive and right now we have a budget for around five per cent of the fee he commands."
