Carlos Tevez off to Italy?

Milan - The agent for Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has been in talks with AC Milan over a move from Manchester City in January.

Kia Joorabchian said on Friday that he had a two-hour meeting with Milan vice president Adriano Galliani at the club's headquarters on Thursday.

"Football is great in Italy, there are great clubs," Joorabchian told Italian TV station Sky Sport on Friday. "Milan is one of the biggest clubs in the world and of course there is the possibility that Carlito will go to a great club."

City manager Roberto Mancini said last week that Tevez's decision to return to Argentina without permission had ended any hope the forward had of playing for the Premier League side again.

Tevez was previously fined and suspended by City for two weeks for refusing to warm up during a Champions League game against Bayern Munich in September.

Juventus is also interested, but a meeting with Tevez's representatives on Friday was reportedly postponed.
