Soccer-Manchester City agree to sign Tevez

MANCHESTER, England, July 13 (Reuters) - Manchester City have agreed to sign Argentina striker Carlos Tevez on a five-year contract, the Premier League club said on their website (www.mcfc.com) on Monday.

The 25-year-old former Manchester United forward will complete his move to City subject to a medical.

Tevez spent the last two seasons at United under a lease agreement but decided to leave Old Trafford in June even though they offered him a permanent five-year contract.
