Corinthians have yet to make an offer for Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez but believe he is nearer to sealing a return to the Brazilian club.
Corinthians were interested in signing Tevez during the summer after he declared a desire to leave City, but a deal could not be finalised.
However, his long-term future still remains unclear after Roberto Mancini's allegation that he refused to play against Bayern Munich led to an internal investigation being carried out at City.
