Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has declared that he wants to leave the club this summer but has asked for the fans' understanding.
The Argentina international submitted a transfer request in December, before quickly performing a dramatic U-turn and pledging his commitment to the club following clear-the-air talks.
His long-term future remained the subject of intense speculation but manager Roberto Mancini always expressed confidence that he would stay.
Mancini stated over the weekend that he planned to keep Tevez after a proposed swap deal with Inter Milan for Samuel Eto'o fell through.
City's FA Cup success and UEFA Champions League qualification also appeared to boost their chances of holding on to the 27-year-old, but the reasons for his decision are more personal.
He wishes the club well and has enjoyed being part of their success, but does not feel he can carry on with his family circumstances the way they are.
