The Argentina striker's representatives are preparing to call on FIFA and the FA after his proposed move to Manchester United stalled due to the Premier League's insistence that West Ham must receive the bulk of the reported £30million fee.

A FIFA spokesman said: "We have not received any official request from any of the parties involved so far. If we do receive a request we would then decide whether we have to look at it or if it is up to the FA to rule on it."

The spokesman added: "The FA could also ask us for guidance and send us all the relevant information."

Tevez's representative, businessman Kia Joorabchian, says he owns the player's economic rights.

Manchester United have agreed terms with Tevez and Joorabchian and hoped to have everything tied up last week - but the deal has now reached an impasse.

It is understood Tevez's camp believe the Premier League can no longer act as independent arbiter in the case.

A source close to the negotiations told PA Sport: "Diplomatic moves are being made. We are in deadlock and we need an independent body to try to sort this mess out."
