Carlos Tevez's agent Kia Joorabchian has revealed that the Manchester City striker would prefer a move to Europe as opposed to a return to Brazil.

It emerged yesterday that AC Milan were given permission to speak to the 27-year-old's advisors over a possible January move.

While the Argentina international previously claimed that he wanted to leave the North West in order to be closer to his family in South America, Joorabchian has stated that Tevez is happy to play at a European club.

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

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

The frontman has not returned to England since jetting off to Argentina without the club's permission last month.
