Upton Park success: the West Ham management are desperate for Tevez to stay at the club

Manager Alan Curbishley and chairman Eggert Magnusson are desperate to keep Tevez, who almost singlehandedly ensured West Ham's survival in the Premiership last season.

The £6m-a-year offer would make Tevez the highest paid player at Upton Park.

But by paying him wages which would put him in the same bracket as Chelsea stars Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko, West Ham hope to convince him to snub offers from Inter and Real Madrid, both of whom are ready to pay Joorabchian £30m.

The Hammers have had a disappointing time trying to sign players, which has raised speculation over Curbishley's future.

Keeping Tevez would go a long way to persuading the board that they have the right manager.

So far Darren Bent has snubbed a £75,000-a-week deal and Mark Viduka and Joey Barton have also turned them down.

Even signing £6.5m Scott Parker from Newcastle cost them £75,000 a week.

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp is considering a £3m bid for Hammers striker Marlon Harewood after being thwarted in his attempts to sign Fredi Kanoute and Yakubu.

He said: "If he could get 15 goals, he'd be a snip."
