Roberto Mancini has again stated that a Manchester City return for Carlos Tevez is 'impossible'.
The Argentine striker is still on the outer at City after refusing to warm-up during a Champions League match back in September, among other problems, and the Eastlands clubs are looking to offload him this winter.
There have been some reports suggesting Tevez could be back at City if no deal is struck with the likes of Inter Milan or Paris Saint-Germain but Mancini has completely dismissed that, saying there is no chance of the former Manchester United ace playing for the club again.
"I think it is important for him to start to play, because he is a football player.
"It's three months since he last played, and that is not good for him.""It is impossible. Carlos does not want to stay, we had a problem," Mancini told The Mirror.
