The Argentine player is under contract to Manchester City until 2014

Carlos Tévez's days at Manchester City could be numbered. According to reports in French newspaper 'L'Equipe', Monaco already has a verbal agreement to sign the Argentine forward for the forthcoming season. Sources in France are tipping Tévez to be paired up alongside Radamel Falcao in attack if the Colombian ends up playing for the club, recently promoted to Ligue 1.

The Argentine player is under contract to Manchester City until 2014, but 'L'Equipe' says that Monaco has lured Tévez with a contract worth €10 million a season.

The French club's president, Russian millionaire Dimitri Rybolovlev, has not yet been in contact with Manchester City, but hopes to begin negotiations with the English team to ensure Carlos Tévez is wearing the Monaco shirt next season. The club's owner is looking to spend the summer completely overhauling the team and building a star-studded squad to go up against Paris Saint-Germain in the French league. Monaco's coffers are full to brimming in readiness to sign up new recruits.

Manchester City's Argentine striker touched down in the Premier League in 2006/07 to bolster West Ham's ranks. He also spent two campaigns at Manchester United, later becoming a 'Citizen' for four seasons. Monaco could be the next port of call for 'El Apache' Tévez.
