Manchester City has turned down a transfer request from captain Carlos Tevez, the club announced on Sunday.

The Premier League team confirmed that the Argentina forward had submitted a written transfer request, adding that it is “disappointed by this situation.”

According to reports, Tevez has clashed with City manager Roberto Mancini and is unhappy to be apart from his family in Argentina.

But in its statement, the team said “Roberto Mancini and all at the club have shown, and will continue to show, sensitivity to Carlos’ personal circumstances including the issue of his family being based overseas.”
