Carlos Tevez is set for showdown talks with Manchester City over his recent behaviour.

The striker missed training and flew to Argentina last week without manager Roberto Mancini's permission.

However, Tevez's representatives claimed that the 27-year-old left messages on Mancini's answerphone.

Now, the club wants to speak to the same representatives today (Monday) to sort out his future once and for all, according to ESPNsoccernet.

The latest incident comes after Tevez was fined two weeks' wages and suspended for a fortnight after he allegedly refused to warm up during his side's Champions League match against Bayern Munich in September.

It is unclear whether the club will sell the forward or keep him at the Etihad Stadium.
