Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez is reportedly a target for Premier League rivals Liverpool and Italian champions Juventus.

Serie A side Juve are on the hunt for a new striker and have been linked with Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuain and Fiorentina's Stevan Jovetic.

The Italian giants are confident of capturing Argentine Higuain but they face plenty of competition for Jovetic, with Arsenal and Chelsea also involved in the battle for the Montenegrin's signature.

If Juve miss out on Jovetic they will reportedly turn their attentions to Tevez, who has entered the final year of his deal with City.

Tevez's future could well be decided by incoming City boss Manuel Pellegrini, who is set to be confirmed as the club's new manager in the coming days, and any exit is unlikely until the Chilean has been officially unveiled as the new man in charge.

However, if it becomes clear Tevez will not sign a new deal City will be open to offers, rather than allow the forward to leave on a free transfer at the end of his deal.

Tevez's contract situation has also put Liverpool on alert, according to the latest reports, and the Anfield side hope a bid of around £7million will be enough to convince City to sell.

French pair Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco have also been linked with the Argentina international in recent weeks and the striker's future should become clearer when Pellegrini has taken charge at the Etihad Stadium.
