Tevez waiting for Real Madrid


West Ham's Argentina striker Carlos Tevez has been contacted by Real Madrid, but is still awaiting a concrete offer from the newly-crowned Spanish champions, his agent Adrian Ruocco claimed Monday.

Tevez helped West Ham stay in the Premier League with a string of match-winning displays, but as the controversy over who actually owns him continues he has been linked with most of Europe's top clubs this summer.

But it appears that the 23-year-old, valued at around 30 million pounds (59 million dollars), would prefer a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

"There's been contact with Real Madrid," Ruocco told The Sun.

"We've been patient but if Real don't make a concrete offer then Carlos has a lot of options.

"He has offers from Europe's biggest clubs. But there's no need to rule out anything - including staying at West Ham where he is settled and wanted."
