Could it be? Another of the summer's long-winded transfer stories coming to a close? Could Carlos Tevez finally be on his way to Manchester City?

Yes, say the Daily Mail and it will cost the Eastlands outfit £25m, as well as a cool £150,000 per week in wages.

Now that they've lost out on Samuel Eto'o, the Blues are apparently also interested in signing Sevilla man Luis Fabiano, which might just mean some more bench time for old Carlos. Poor lad.

A signing that won't effect the Argentine [unless he decides he fancies a foray up front for a bit] is John Terry and he is still mulling over a move to Manchester - says the same paper. The Blues skipper is closing on a move, but Chelsea have made it clear to the player that they will not increase his wages to ward off interest.

Real Madrid are still sniffing around Xabi Alonso like a dog around some old food, but The Sun insist that boss Manuel Pellegrini is almost ready to sign him as he said: "He's an important player as he has shown with the Spanish team.''

Adding ''it won't be easy'', it could be a while before Xabi is wearing that famous white strip. And especially if Madrid keep lowering their price, like the Daily Mirror say they have been.

The Daily Mail are leading the race for Stewart Downing and that might mean something for the future of Ashley Young. Tottenham are keen, but not on defender Zat Knight - who Villa are set to lose - with Wolves ready to join Bolton in a battle to sign him.

Sunderland, fresh from the signing of a bright young Campbell, are now interested in some defenders and The Sun think Michael Dawson might be a cheaper - and maybe even better - option than Richard Dunne.

In other news, The Sun have the news that all Hull fans don't want to hear.. Jimmy Bullard is still injured. And until October too.

The Daily Star have upset a lot of Southampton fans [like they really need any more upset] and reckon that Tony Adams is the man to take over the reins at the faltering club.

And finally, various papers have the news that Manchester United have had to change their long-planned exhibition about Cristiano Ronaldo. The 'Best Player In The World' display at Old Trafford was made just as he hot-footed it to Madrid, so Red Devils' bosses have made it a 'farewell' presentation instead.
