Losing Tevez could be a blessing in disguise for City

It finally appears that Super Striker Carlos Tevez will be leaving the shores of England this summer due to personal issues relating to his family.

But could such action actually be a blessing in disguise for his current club, mega-rich Manchester City? The answer is yes.

Despite scoring an amazing 43 goals in 65 appearances for City, Tevez has already once before declared his intent on leaving Eastlands before later retracting that desire. The striker has made it clear that he wishes to be closer to his family and that has been the reason for his desire to leave.

Last month the striker declared in a interview that he 'would never return to the cold and wet City (Manchester)' before yesterday announcing officially that yet again he wishes to depart from the recent FA Cup winners.

So where does this leave Manchester City? In all honesty despite wanting to keep hold of Tevez, they will know that keeping a player against his own wish could be damaging for the club and will be keen to find a suitable replacement before they sell, with two years left on his contract, City will be in no rush to sell.

With the likes of Edin Dzeko, Mario Balotelli and of course Craig Bellamy still on their books City have no shortage of quality strikers and moving Tevez along will also remove the hype and saga that has followed the striker since his arrival from across the City.

Mancini will expect to receive upwards of £40 million for the striker which could restrict the strikers final destination as well as his reported £200,000 a week wages.

So should City find a suitable replacement soon I think that City management and fans should be more worried about how they can wrestle the Premiership crown from 19 times Champions United rather than worry about Tevez's impending and inevitable departure from England.
