West Ham striker Carlos Tevez is reportedly on the verge of agreeing a new deal to remain at Upton Park for next season.
Hammers chairman Eggert Magnusson is desperate to keep the Argentinian star after his heroics in almost single-handedly keeping the club up last season.
The deal for the 23-year-old to remain in east London for a further campaign would reportedly cost a huge £9m, but that figure will not deter Magnusson, who saw a big money swoop for Charlton's Darren Bent fall through last week when the England striker decided against a move across the capital.
Liverpool and Manchester United are known admirers of the playmaker, while Inter Milan are rumoured to have made a £32m bid.
However, a top source told the News of the World: "Mr Magnusson has pulled out all the stops to keep Carlos for at least another season.
"The package will cost £9m in wages and payments to his owner Kia Joorabchian but the chairman is convinced the deal is done.
"[Darren] Bent's decision to do the dirty on West Ham, after agreeing a deal, has made Eggert do whatever it takes to make the fans happy."
