Carlos Tevez's agent has claimed that his charge is nearing a move to England.
Chelsea have been leading the chase in recent months, but Manchester United and Arsenal are also both known to be keen.
Tevez fell out with his Brazilian club Corinthians at the weekend when he walked out following their game with Botafogo - claiming he would not play for them again.
Corinthians coach Emerson Leao has not been shy in condemning the Argentine striker - who looks as if he could be on his way to Europe.
Adrian Rucco, Tevez's agent, admitted a move to The Premiership was on the cards.
"Tevez is very close to moving to an English club," said Rucco.
A host of clubs from Europe are interested in Tevez, with Milan and Bayern Munich also linked.
But Corinthians director Humberto Grondona confirmed that they were under the impression Rucco was setting up a move to England.
"I am convinced that Carlos will go away to some European league," Grondona told La Nacion.
"His representative, Adrian Rucco, was in Rome three days ago and now he has gone to England to look for a club for him."
Reports in France have already stated that Rennes have made contact with Chelsea about the possibility of taking Tevez on loan, should The Blues sign him and decide to let him leave immediately.
Will be a great signing for Man Utd or Chelsea. His a top top player. His quick, tehnically v good and strong as well. Just wish we could compete in the top end of the market and actually have an option in going for World Class players of this calibre.
