Tevez must pass psychological tests before Milan will discuss £25m deal

AC Milan want Carlos Tevez to undergo rigorous psychological tests at the Milan Lab, their scientific centre, before they are prepared to do a £25million deal.

The Italians believe a player's state of mind is all-important because it has a direct effect on physical fitness and performance.

And Milan want to be totally sure Manchester City striker Tevez - who refused to warm up before the Champions League tie at Bayern Munich and then failed to return to the club after going back to his native Argentina - is psychologically fit.

Out in the cold: Man City striker Carlos Tevez

A Milan insider said: 'We all know Carlos is a great player, but the psycho-physical aspects of training are very important here.

'When we have focused on psychological factors, then we can be confident that the physical side - structural and bio-chemical aspects - will come good, too.

'He hasn't played for a while and in order to minimise the risk of injury his mind must be right.'

The Tevez camp are prepared to go along with the mind games at the Milan Lab before sealing the deal in January./dailymail/
