\"Carlos Tevez and Mancini leave the pitch side by side on Tuesday<\/span> <\/p>\n

Manchester City captain Carlos Tevez wants to stay with the club, manager Roberto Mancini said after his side’s 3-0 win over Stoke<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Argentine’s future has been in doubt since he handed in a transfer request in January.<\/p>\n

“He has a five-year contract and has told us he wants to stay,” said Mancini after seeing Tevez score twice to help lift City to third in the league.<\/p>\n

“He said it before. He never had any problem,” added the Italian.<\/p>\n

Mancini’s comments seem to be at odds with those coming from Tevez himself.<\/p>\n

Immediately after the FA Cup final defeat of Stoke<\/a> on Saturday, the South American said “there is an issue we need to sort out and that’s the long distance between me and my family<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

And it has been widely thought that Tevez will choose to move to Spain or Italy at the end of this season.<\/p>\n

But not according to Mancini, who continued: “I think he will stay here next year. He doesn’t have a problem.<\/p>\n

“I spoke with him many times in the last 20 days. It is my opinion that Carlos stays here next season.<\/p>\n

“In December he had a problem. But everyone can change his opinion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Carlos is an important player here. Carlos has scored 20 goals this season. Every time we say Carlos is an important player. Carlos is Carlos. He is a fantastic striker and a fantastic player for us. The feeling for him is good. Nowhere else can he find behaviour that all people have for him.”<\/p>\n

Mancini also thinks that Tevez, who moved level with Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov in the race for the Golden Boot with a brace that took him to 20 goals for the season, will want to be part of a new era at City.<\/p>\n

“When we play in the Champions League, probably we will have a better squad,” stated Mancini.<\/p>\n

“We can buy other good players. Why should Tevez change teams? I don’t think this will happen.”<\/p>\n

Stoke boss Tony Pulis conceded his side were well beaten at Eastlands and tipped City to “become a force”.<\/p>\n

“It was always going to be difficult, the after-effects of the Cup meant the lads were still feeling down,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Tevez scored two great goals. The free-kick – how far did he start the ball outside the post? It was fantastic technique.<\/p>\n

“City are a good side – they are going to be a force, they have the right balance of pace, power and strength. They will join Chelsea and United in being one of the powers in this country.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
