Tevez agent explains reasons for Man City transfer demand

The agent of Carlos Tevez has explained why the striker wants to leave Manchester City.

On Tuesday night, Tevez's representative, Kia Joorabchian, claimed it was City's failure to continue "in the same direction as he (Tevez) imagined", and also address certain unspecified "issues", that led to the striker demanding a move.

"At the end of last season Carlos was very disappointed and upset City didn't qualify for the Champions League," said Joorabchian. "He'd seen things which had gone on in the season and made his feelings known. He felt maybe the time had come to move on but City wanted him to stay.

"Carlos believes that he had certain promises and personal assurances made to him, which had nothing to do with money and he was let down."

Joorabchian added: "They made him some promises, he made them some promises. In his view, they didn't keep theirs and he kept his."
