MILAN, Italy -- Carlos Tevezs agent says a move to AC Milan is the Argentina strikers preferred option as he seeks to end a controversial spell at Manchester City, according to an Italian newspaper. Stevan Ridley Jersey . Kia Joorabchian had a two-hour meeting with Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani at the clubs headquarters on Thursday. "It was a constructive dialogue which left me feeling happy," Joorabchian was quoted as saying in an interview published Saturday in Gazzetta dello Sport. "Milan is the best solution at the moment, his first choice. Carlos wants to wear the Milan shirt." City manager Roberto Mancini has said that Tevezs decision to return to Argentina without permission had ended any hope the forward had of playing for the Premier League club again. Tevez has still not returned to Manchester and recently missed a scheduled meeting with the Premier League leaders to discuss his future. Mancini refused to answer questions about the matter in his weekly news conference Friday, emphatically stating, "I do not want to speak about Carlos Tevez." Tevez has not played since apparently refusing an instruction from Mancini to warm up during a Champions League game against Bayern Munich in September. City fined Tevez four weeks wages last month but was forced to halve it after Englands players union intervened. "In reality the problem is only with Mancini, not with the club," Joorabchian added. "Carlos has been clear with the club, the only consequence was a fine. "However, its obvious theyre interested in resolving the situation." Massimiliano Allegris team is not the only option in Italy for Tevez. Juventus is also said to be interested but a meeting with the players representatives on Friday was reportedly postponed. Inter Milan had an offer rejected by City in the summer according to Joorabchian. Inter coach Claudio Ranieri is remaining coy on whether the club is planning to renew its efforts in January. "Are you convinced Inter isnt interested in Tevez?" Ranieri said Saturday. "Ive aroused your suspicions now by saying that." Tevez is under contract with City until 2014. It will reportedly cost C4 million ($5.3 million) to take the 27-year-old forward on loan and a further C20 million ($26.5 million) to make the transfer permanent in the summer. A stumbling block could be the wages, with Tevez earning around C10 million ($13.2 million) a season at City. "I dont think problems should be talked about with his wages seeing as all big players earn high salaries," Joorabchian said. "However, we didnt talk about the economic aspect with Galliani." Milan is hunting for a striker, with Antonio Cassano set to miss the rest of the season as he recovers from heart surgery. Tevez, however, would not be eligible for the Champions League after featuring for City against Napoli at the beginning of the campaign. Tevez has long been linked with a move to Italy, despite the Argentina striker saying several times he wishes to return to South America to be closer to his family, including his two daughters who live with his wife in Buenos Aires. The 2009 recruit from Manchester United was Citys top scorer during its run to the FA Cup title last year that ended a 35-year trophy drought. However, the season was not without controversy for the City captain after he handed in a written transfer request in December, saying that his relationship with "certain executives and individuals at the club" was beyond repair. Tevez later retracted his request but seemed destined to leave the club during the summer. Despite saying he would not return to Manchester even for a holiday, he failed in his attempts to secure a transfer in the off-season back to Brazilian club Corinthians, which he left in 2006 to join West Ham.

Thats the one thing missing on my resume - I want to win majors," Donald said. Stevan Ridley Womens Jersey . The team also came to terms with the other seven members of its 2012 draft class, an unusual move given that a teams draft picks are usually signed over time in the weeks following the draft. The terms of the deals announced Monday were not released. http://www.nikenewenglandpatriotsjerseyssale.com/wes-welker-jerseys . Down 5-3, Shane Victorino and Brian Roberts stroked back-to-back singles to begin the home half against J.C. Romero. Derek Jeter lined to right but Victorino moved to third, and Roberts stole second with Jimmy Rollins at the plate. Rollins drew a walk to load the bases and Fernando Cabrera entered. Brandon Bolden Jersey ...right? Well, lets put a pin in that for a second. A few weeks ago, before the Pacers went six games against the Heat and before the Sixers pushed the Celtics to seven, both Danny Granger and Andre Iguodala looked like viable targets for the Raptors this offseason. Julian Edelman Jersey . LOUIS -- St.CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. -- Steven Fox played well while battling though some jitters in earlier matches. He did even better once he relaxed. Fox took advantage of a strong start to beat Chris Williams, the worlds top-ranked amateur, in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills on Friday. "I was nervous the first couple of matches, and for some reason, this match I kind of felt at home," Fox said. "I was finally playing with the galleries and enjoyed myself out there, and really just had fun." The 21-year-old Fox, from Hendersonville, Tenn., beat the 21-year-old Williams, from Moscow, Idaho, 4 and 2. A senior at the Tennessee-Chattanooga, Fox will play Brandon Hagy of Westlake Village, Calif., in the semifinals Saturday. The 21-year-old Hagy, one of two golfers from the University of California to reach the semifinals, beat Cheng-Tsung Pan of Taiwan 4 and 3. Michael Weaver of Fresno, Calif., who also a member of Cals golf team, beat Ricardo Gouveia of Portugal 4 and 3. Hell meet Alabamas Justin Thomas of Goshen, Ky., in the other semifinal. Thomas edged Australian Oliver Goss 2-up. Fox made two birdies in a bogey-free front nine. Williams had two bogeys. "This is by far the best thing Ive done in my career, by far," Fox said. "I knew I had to play well and had to bring my A game, and luckily I did," said Fox, who advanced to match play after winning a playoff in stroke-play qualifying. "But we started out and I got 2-up through four, and to be 4-up after nine was beyond expecttations. Rob Gronkowski Youth Jersey. I thought it was going to be a really close match. I give him respect for being the No. 1 amateur, but luckily I got it done." Like Fox, Weaver parlayed a strong start into a victory over Gouveia, who hadnt trailed in any of his matches before the quarterfinals. Weaver was up by two holes after five and stretched his advantage to 4-up after nine. He failed to advance to match play in last year when he missed the cut by a stroke and had to survive a playoff just to get into match play this year. "Im having a great week. Couldnt be happier," Weaver said. "Just to make it through the playoff was great. I feel like Ive played smart and Ive put myself in a great position." The 19-year-old Thomas, 19, the Jack Nicklaus Award winner as the nations top collegiate player, was only 1-up on Goss heading into No. 18. Thomas was able to make par and the 18-year-old Goss, an incoming freshman at Tennessee, missed a long putt from the lip of the green to try to square the match. "It was a hard match," Thomas said. "Youre obviously not going to get any easy matches at this point. It feels great to be moving on and Im very, very honoured." Hagy birdied the seventh hole to take his first lead. He stretched his lead to 2-up when Pan, who plays for Washington, bogeyed No. 10. "I think that stretch right there ... was huge," Hagy said. "Then I birdied the next hole to go 1-up. That was a huge swing. I played really consistent the whole rest of the way." ' ' '
