Monaco have denied being in the race for Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez.
The Argentine, who has just one year left on his contract at the Etihad Stadium, has been floated as a target for the big spending principality club, who recently lavished cash on Joao Moutinho and James Rodriguez from FC Porto, while Ricardo Carvalho also arrived from Real Madrid on a free transfer.
