Roberto Mancini 'happy' for Carlos Tevez to make Italian move



Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has said it is "important" to sell Carlos Tevez and would be happy to see him move to Italy.

The striker does not appear to have a future at City and has been absent from the club for the past month.

AC Milan revealed on Monday they had been given permission by City to speak to representatives of the player.

Mancini, speaking at a press conference to preview tomorrow's Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, said: "I don't know what the situation with Carlos is in this moment.

"I think for us it is important to sell him. We can do this, to sell Carlos, for him and the club.

"If he has a chance to go to Italy I am happy for him."

Tevez's adviser, Kia Joorabchian, has stated that his client's priority is to secure a move to another European club.

The 27-year-old Argentine has again been linked with his former club in Brazil, Corinthians, but after a move there collapsed in the summer, he is concentrating elsewhere.

"A return to Brazil? It's a possibility, but for the time being he wants to play in Europe," Joorabchian told www.milannews.it.

Tevez returned to Argentina without City's permission after deciding not to appeal against a club fine for five breaches of contract relating to his conduct on the bench against Bayern Munich on September 27.

Joorabchian says Tevez is now working hard away from the club ahead of a possible move.

He said: "He is training intensely. In January he wants to return to have a starring role and play in a great club."

Joorabchian also confirmed other clubs aside from Milan are interested in Tevez. Inter Milan and Juventus have also featured in reports.

Joorabchian said: "Milan is a great club but there are other Italian clubs that have also requested information."

How the bonus system works

The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.

The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.

There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).

All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.

Real estate tokenisation project

Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.

The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.

Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
