Manchester City's Gareth Barry: 'Losing Carlos Tevez is a blow'

Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry believes that Carlos Tevez's departure will prove to be a "massive loss" for the club.

The 29-year-old was presented to the media for the first time as a Juventus player today after finalising a move to Turin in a reported £10m switch.

"It will be a massive loss for Manchester City," Barry told Sky Sports News.

"He has had a fantastic few years there and he has been fantastic to play alongside.

"To hear that news is quite sad but he will go and do a great job wherever he goes."

Tevez moved to City from Manchester United in 2009.
