Edu who is in London for the Leaders in Football conference, as well as to speak to European based players and build the Corinthians brand abroad, confirmed to the BBC that the club have no current plans to sign Teves

“At the moment there are no plans to try and sign him again," commented former Arsenal midfielder Edu.

“I"m starting to think about our new squad for 2012 and I"ve talked to our coach [Tite] about what we need – but Tevez was not mentioned.

“We are always interested in world-class players like Carlos but you need to analyse if it"s right for you at that time to try to sign him or not. We have not spoken to him or his agent."

The Brazilian club were very keen in the summer, with only a failure to secure bank guarantees preventing a transfer, but it seems something has put them off with Edu making the point clear-cut.

However, he was not willing to rule-out a bid and left some room for change in his words.

“On Wednesday I spoke to our club president [Andres Sanchez] to see if he wanted me to make contact and start negotiations while I"m over in Europe but he said no, it"s up to you to decide.

“Of course, that could change. It"s nice to be over here to see the real situation of Tevez and speak to people about him. Then we can start to decide if it"s right for us to try again."
