Milanese tug-of-war for Tevez turns ugly

Jan 11, 2012 10:00:00 AM

AC Milan and Inter are the two favourites to sign Manchester City's want-away striker Carlos Tevez, with a struggle between the arch-rivals to capture the forward's signature this January.

With the Scudetto holders seeing a loan bid refused by Roberto Mancini, Massimo Moratti has confirmed that his Nerazzurri side are also interested in the 27-year-old.​

With the Milan derby coming up on Sunday, the Giuseppe Meazza enemies are locking horns off the pitch as well, as it remains to be seen whether Moratti or Adriano Galliani will win the tug-of-war for the Argentina international.

Bro GD, Indian Muslim most of them are, I ever be friend with one of them dealing with my work, he hated the Yankees so much, saying yankees are the one sucking all the money globally. In my mind, another T in the making.

Yes, they are Indian muslims. Yet to see a Malay moneychanger here in S'pore. Maybe you can be a good citizen and alert ISD on a potential T! Just kidding.

Copa del Rey Preview: Osasuna - Barcelona

Pep Guardiola's men head into the second leg of their round of 16 fixture with a healthy 4-0 lead as they look to secure their place in the quarter-finals

By Luke Matthews

PROBABLE LINEUPS

<tbody>
</tbody>

OSASUNA Fernandez Damia, Flano, Sergio, Satrustegui Torres, Raul Garcia, Timor Lamah, Ibrahima, Masoud ​

BARCELONA Pinto Alves, Mascherano, Pique, Adriano Iniesta, Busquets, Thiago Cuenca, Fabregas, Pedro​

<tbody> </tbody>

Jose Luis Mendilibar has several injury problems going into the game and will be without Roversio, Kike Sola, Ruben, Jukka Raitala and Ion Echaide, although Raul Garcia could pass a late fitness test to start in midfield.

The home side could give a number of younger players an opportunity, with Roberto Torres and Eneko Satrustegui in line for starts against the Primera Division giants.

With Barcelona holding a commanding lead going into the second leg, Pep Guardiola could use the game to rotate his squad. Jose Manuel Pinto will replace Victor Valdes in goal to resume his usual starting role in Copa del Rey fixtures.

Adriano could start at left-back in place of Eric Abidal with Maxwell apparently close to moving to French club Paris Saint-Germain. Seydou Keita has now joined up with his Malian team-mates for the African Cup of Nations, and Thiago could come into the midfield.

The Catalan club are likely to go into the game with a rotated frontline with the newly crowned Ballon d'Or, Lionel Messi, in line for a rest. Isaac Cuenca could also start the game after rejoining the Barcelona first squad after a recent spell training with the B team.

Alves out of Copa clash

Dani Alves will sit out Barcelona's Copa del Rey quarter-final with Osasuna after suffering discomfort in his right leg during training on Tuesday, the club have said.

The Brazilian defender will be absent along with Andres Iniesta and Maxwell, with the pair omitted by Pep Guardiola.

Iniesta appears to be getting a rest, while Guardiola revealed Maxwell is close to sealing a move to big spending French club Paris St Germain.

"This is well advanced, but it is not yet closed," Guardiola said. "It seems he is not happy, as he has not had the playing time he wanted."

Barca will face Real Madrid in the semi-final should they advance, but Guardiola is not getting ahead of himself.

"I am only thinking about Osasuna," he said. "We will answer these questions (about Real Madrid) if we get through the quarter-finals.

We do not know what will happen. This is football. Last year we had a scare against Real Betis, and anything can happen."​

Hi there

1. Delighted to see City lost again.
2. Under achiever Nasri has only 3 pathetic goals after making 14 appearances for City.
3. Losing Silva through injury is no excuse because they spent 240 million.
4. If give 240 million to Moyes he will finish top 5.
5.
