Roberto Mancini has confirmed that Manchester City have accepted a bid from Corinthians for Carlos Tevez.

City are currently on a pre-season tour of United States and following their win over Club America, Mancini confirmed a deal had been struck.

"We have an agreement with Corinthians but Carlos now is still a City player," Mancini said.

Mancini did not confirm the size of the bid, but it is believed to be in the region of £40 million.

Asked whether Tevez would now be allowed to discuss personal terms, Mancini said: "I don't know this. I repeat, at the moment, Carlos is still a City player.

"I want to wait. At the moment we are here, we are working with the other guys. We should think about this.''

Should a deal be struck, City are likely to turn their attentions to finding a replacement - with Atletico Madrid forward Sergio Aguero their top target.
