AC Milan director Umberto Gandini has told Manchester City that his club's pursuit of Carlos Tevez will not waiver throughout the January transfer window.

Milan claim that they have agreed terms with Tevez, but are yet to conclude a deal with City. Reports suggest Milan want to take the player on loan, while City are holding out for a permanent deal.

And the Italian giants are so eager to secure the striker's signature that they will press hard in January to end the impasse.

"I think it is known there is an offer made by AC Milan to City for Tevez," Gandini told Sky Sports News. "Man City is considering that, Tevez has expressed his liking to come to Milan. There are obviously other clubs interested in such a good player, such a great player, and we wait.

"Our CEO Mr [Adriano] Gallaini has said we will wait for Tevez until the last day of the market, we hope we don't have to wait so long but we are there, we are in the hunt. There is an opportunity. We are bidding, we made the offer very clear, we think the player has expressed his desire to join AC Milan. It is up Man City to decide, we will wait and see."
