Premier League: Top 5 Transfer Predictions For 2013

4. Carlos Tevez To PSG

PSG became one of the richest clubs in world football after being taken over by Qatar Investment Authority in May 2011 and have as such been linked with a move for some of the very finest players in the world. They have added the likes of once-time Man united target Lucas Moura to their ranks, as well as Zlatan Ibrahimovi‡ as they chase trophies. Manchester City's Carlos Tevez became a transfer target* last January in the wake of his huge bust-up with Roberto Mancini at the Etihad in a deal that was thought to be worth at least £30 million. It was thought then that the Argentine would never play for City again after apparently refusing to warm up during a Champions League game against Bayern Munich but he later made a dramatic return to the side to inspire them to their first title since 1968. However, his contract with City is set to expire next year** and with the club continuing to be linked with the likes of Edinson Cavani,*** the Argentine might no longer get guaranteed first team football at the Etihad with the likes of Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko also waiting for their chance. How Likely Is It? Tevez might find himself squeezed out of the side should City make a move for Cavani and could find himself surplus to requirements under Roberto Mancini. It remains to be seen if the Argentine signs a contract extension with the Sky Blues and PSG are so rich they can sign anyone they want. Don't rule it out.
