Tevez on demand

LA SERENA. — Carlos Tevez is wanted again by Argentina and Europe’s top clubs after four lean years in which he nearly gave up the game. The 31-year-old, known as “Apache” after the Buenos Aires slum district where he was brought up, is back in the national side after a 20-goal season for Juventus who pushed Barcelona to the limit in the Champions League final. Tevez goes into the Copa America having reportedly demanded a transfer from the Italian side. Talks have been held with Atletico Madrid while British media say Liverpool are also interested.

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri, resigned to losing the Argentine, said that Tevez has had an “extraordinary season.” “He has the game in his blood,” according to Atletico coach Diego Simeone. Tevez has also had a bruising career, suffering and handing out the blows. Tevez’s brilliance was never doubted as he moved from his beloved Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires to Corinthians in Brazil and then in 2006 to West Ham, Manchester United and in 2009 on to Manchester City for more than 40 million pounds. — AFP.
