AC MILAN were last night closing in on a deal to buy Carlos Tevez in January.
The Argy's advisor Kia Joorabchian is in Milan for talks and a deal worth between £25-£30million for the AWOL Manchester City striker is in the early stages of being worked out.
It had been thought a short-term loan was on the cards but the word in Italy is a permanent transfer is on the negotiating table.
Our source said: "Milan are making no secret of the fact they are interested in Tevez and are talking to Joorabchian about a permanent transfer."
Tevez is currently back home in Buenos Aires after leaving City without permission a fortnight ago.
Boss Roberto Mancini is happy to see the back of him but has insisted City want the £40m market value for the striker, although privately City admit they will not get it.
Milan want Tevez, 27, to prove his fitness and convince them he is mentally up for the challenge of Serie A.
If he does that, Milan boss Massimiliano Allegriare is ready to finalise a bid.
Milan need a new striker in January because of doubts over the future of Antonio Cassano, who had heart surgery, and injury-prone Alexandre Pato.
