Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti is urging Carlos Tevez to quit Manchester City and join him in Italy.
Argentine sources say Zanetti is regularly texting his Argentina teammate about how much he would enjoy playing for Inter.
Tevez is considering his options at City, having complained about life in Manchester on local Argentine TV.
The stumbling block will be Tevez's wage demands, which Inter chief Marco Branca has already declared is out of their range.
