Manchester City are determined to broke the deal with Tevez definitely. Even if Man City are open to discussions with any club there are only a few teams that could meet the player wage demands.

AC Milan are the favorites to land the Argentinean striker but the negotiations are not still finished between the clubs.

Milan would prefer to loan Tevez until the summer and to have the possibility to make the deal permanent only if they will consider that the deal must be done. Meanwhile Man City would allow a loan deal only if Milan would be obligated to buy the player at the end of the loan.

Both clubs have agreed that a new round of negotiations will be done after Christmas.

PSG and Corinthians are also interested in buying Tevez but probably both clubs will wait to see what will happen in Milan case.

Raul‘s contract at Schalke is going to expire next summer and there are still doubts about a new deal.

A few months ago the Schalke board announced that they will not offer Raul a new deal as they considered him too old to help the club when his current deal will expire. The former Real Madrid captain will be 35 next summer.

Now after more quality games they announced that they will negotiate a new deal next month. Also Raul is confident that he will get a new deal.

The Spanish striker is still one of the best strikers in the World despite the fact that he is not so young. It is well known that strikers have their best moments when they are between 28-32 years old.

The legendary striker is the best scorer in European cups.  Schalke signed Raul from Real Madrid last year after Mourinho’s arrival.

The 27 years old striker  arrived at Chelsea last winter for a sum of £50 millions,  a transfer sum which is a record between two Premier League clubs, but failed to emulate the form he had a t Liverpool. Torres scored only 3 goals for Chelsea and that is the main reason why he was transfer listed.

Torres was suppose to resolve Chelsea attack problems but he failed. The London club intended to loan him at first time but they changed their mind after all in order to recover some of the money spent on him.

There are a few clubs interested in signing Torres but there is no official bid for him at this time.
