MANCHESTER, England (AP) - Manchester United is reportedly set to sign Argentina striker Carlos Tevez on a permanent transfer for a British record 32 million pounds ($63.6 million; 40.4 million).
Tevez scored 19 goals in 48 matches on loan last season to help United to the Premier League and Champions League titles, but British papers reported Saturday that the club now wants to keep him permanently.
Papers including The Sun, The Mirror, The Mail and The Guardian were agreed that United will break the record of 30 million pounds paid by Chelsea for Andriy Shevchenko in 2006.
The 24-year-old Tevez joined United a year ago after scoring the goals that saved West Ham from relegation in 2006/07.
He was initially on a two-year loan because of the complicated nature of the transfer - his registration was claimed by a private company rather than a club - but United also negotiated a clause to give it first refusal on signing him permanently.
