By ESPN staff

Clarence Seedorf does not think Carlos Tevez will join AC Milan because he expects the striker to join the club which can "promise him the most money".

Manchester City are looking to offload the out-of-favour Tevez in the January transfer window, with AC Milan and Paris Saint Germain among the sides chasing his signature.

City have already rejected the prospect of a loan deal for their former skipper, and with French side PSG expected to offer Tevez a better salary than the Serie A side, Milan midfielder Seedorf admits he is not expecting the Argentine to arrive at the San Siro in January.

"Looking back at his career, his agents and every move he has ever made, I think Tevez will go where they can promise him the most money," Seedorf told Sky Sport Italia.

"Milan would be the first time in his life that he has chosen a club for his career rather than the money. We'll see what happens."

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said last week that his club had made an offer to
City to acquire Tevez on loan in January, with an option to make that move
permanent in the summer.

City are reluctant to let Tevez go on loan, but Galliani is still hoping a deal
can go ahead, especially as his side are without the services of the unwell
Antonio Cassano.

"Tevez is our first choice,'' he told www.milannews.it.
"We know we have the player's agreement, but we hope he will not agree with
other clubs. There is a deadline of 18:59 on January 31 to complete his transfer.

"Everyone knows what Milan's position is and he will arrive only due to
(Antonio) Cassano's problem.''

Reports in Italy claim Milan are ready to offer Alexandre Pato or Robinho to
City as part of a swap deal that would see Tevez join the Italian champions.
However, Galliani ruled out that possibility.

"I reiterate that Pato and Robinho will not leave the club,'' he said.
Tevez is set to leave the Blues in the new year after his latest fallout with
the club.

Tevez, who is also a reported target for Juventus and former club
Corinthians, returned to his homeland last month without City's permission and
is yet to report back to training.
