Joorabchian answers the questions on Tevez’s exit

Kia Joorabchian, Carlos Tevez’s agent, has revealed that Tevez had to walk away from Manchester United’s offer, because enough time was not given to consider the offer.

Manchester United announced, through a club website statement, that Tevez would be leaving Old Trafford after a two-year loan spell at the club.

While the Red Devils had agreed to pay the £25.5million fee to secure Tevez’s services permanently, along with a five year lucrative contract, it was rejected by the player.

Manchester City are in pole position to grab the Argentine’s services, with Chelsea also not far behind.

Money was not a factor in influencing the Argentina Striker’s decision, the 25 year old’s advisor clarified.

The fact that enough time was not given, played a huge part in the player’s decision to end his association with the club.

“When Man United made their offer about ten days ago, for the first time in two years, we never went back to them to ask about money,” Joorabchian told Sky Sports News.

“We just asked for some time to think about it. Obviously they have had two years to think about it and Carlos had to make a decision based on his family.

“Just to make it clear, this has been Carlos’ decision. Nobody else would make this decision for him.”

Joorabchian added: “We didn’t actually reject the offer. Manchester United have ruled themselves out of the running.”

“We actually asked for more time and if they could not give that we would have to walk away.”

“He wants time to digest it and to know which club would suit him because now he is committing the next five years of his future.”
