Corinthians pull out of deal for Tevez

Tevez is now running out of potential new employers following the official announcement from Corinthians that it was "impossible" for them to conclude what would have been by far the biggest transfer in the history of Brazilian football before last night's transfer deadline.

"While acknowledging the efforts of Manchester City, and everyone involved in the negotiations, there wasn't enough time for the transfer to be completed," a Corinthians statement said.  "We are aware our fans wanted Tevez to join our club again and we hope we can have the player with us in the future"
