If the 21m BP part is true, which is 25m eur, I think we'd stand a good chance City to accept our bid. But then the trickier part will start, which is convincing Tevez to accept ours and refuse the deals Milan or PSG will propose to him.
I'm not sure that we're seriously in the game, though. Every reliable source, including what Galliani, Berlu, Seedorf say, mention only PSG as Milan rivals.
I do hope that we're working from the shadows, but I doubt that something like that would have been kept a secret for so long.
We might enter the game for Tevez tomorrow, but today we're not playing. It was probably a simple inquiry.
