MARSEILLE coach Didier Deschamps has laughed off speculation that Carlos Tevez wants to sign for the Ligue 1 side.

Tevez was at the Stade Velodrome at the weekend to watch Argentine compatriots Lucho Gonzalez and Garbriel Heinze in action prompting rumours the former Manchester United striker is looking for a move.

However, Deschamps insisted the club has not got the money to go after him even if he did want to join the French side.

He said: “If we sell the Old Port maybe we can buy him!

“It’s not realistic, unless he really wants to come.”
