AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is set to fly to Manchester this week with the hope of finalising a deal for wantaway City striker Carlos Tevez, according to reports in the English media.

Tevez is still AWOL in Argentina, having left for his homeland without the permission of his club, while City look to find a club willing to purchase the player. Milan, meanwhile, have stated their desire to bring Tevez to the San Siro on loan to replace the injured Antonio Cassano, and hope to have the 27-year-old available for their training camp in Dubai in two weeks.

"Let's hope sooner or later City change their minds," Galliani is quoted as saying in The Sun.

"Negotiations are going to take a long time but we are playing a lot of emphasis on the fact he wants to play with us. It's true other sides are interested in him but there are not actually that many."

Juventus and Paris Saint Germain have also been linked with the Argentina international, while Tevez is quoted as saying he would prefer to stay in South America to play for Boca Juniors or Corinthians.
