Carlos Tevez will only be sold to a European club for £50 million after Corinthians walked away from a deal for the Manchester City striker ahead of the Brazilian transfer deadline.At the start of the week, Roberto Mancini claimed that a £40 million fee was agreed, only for Corinthians to admit defeat in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Tevez, 27, has made it clear that he wants to leave England but City are determined not to be viewed as a soft touch and, according to Sky Sports, will now revert to their original asking price.
That could mean that Tevez is marooned at the Etihad Stadium, unless the likes of Real Madrid, Inter Milan or Juventus are prepared to come up with a significant offer.
The Tevez news could also have a knock-on effect in City's pursuit of Atletico Madrid's Argentina forward Sergio Aguero.
Spurs move for Adebayor
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is interested in taking former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor to White Hart Lane on loan.
Adebayor moved to Manchester City two years ago but finished last season on loan at Real Madrid after being frozen out by Mancini and he has not been taken on City's pre-season tour of North America.
"The chairman has been speaking about it," Redknapp said during Tottenham's pre-season tour of South Africa. "I am not sure if it will happen.
"He is a name that has been mentioned, certainly. I spoke to the chairman about loaning the player and if we could work out a deal for him, I would like to bring him to the club."
Chelsea move for Lukaku
Chelsea have finally made a move for Anderlecht's promising young Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku, according to the BBC.
Lukaku only turned 18 in May but is rated as one of the best prospects in European football after two impressive years in the Jupiler League.
