Carlos Tevez's agent believes that Argentine is close to patching up his differences with Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini.

The pair have not spoken since a touchline row during a Champions League tie against Bayern Munich in September.

However, Tevez is reportedly ready to return to training following a two-month stint in his homeland without City's consent.

Mancini recently admitted that Tevez could still have a future at the club, but only if he apologises for his actions.

Agent Kia Joorabchian has refused to confirm whether or not an apology is in the offing, but does feel that a truce is "close".

"I think this is between Mancini and Carlos," Joorabchian told Sky Sports News. "What is important is that they resolve their issues behind closed doors and I think they are close to that."

Earlier today, Tevez revealed that he is keen to win back the support of Manchester City's fans.
