Tevez's representatives Media Sports Investment are suing West Ham for £30million for breach of contract after they terminated third-party agreements regarding the player in April.

However, it would suit all parties if a deal could be reached as a case in the High Court could take months to hear.

Talks are continuing between the three parties to see if an agreement can be reached that would allow the Argentinian's move to Manchester United to go ahead before the start of the season.

West Ham's lawyers have put forward a suggestion which would see the club receive a sum totalling several million pounds in compensation for agreeing to release Tevez's registration.

The Premier League have to be satisfied that West Ham are receiving an adequate sum and chairman Sir Dave Richards, chief executive Richard Scudamore and general secretary Mike Foster spent several hours on Monday discussing the proposal.

The league have to be able to demonstrate to the other 19 clubs that they are operating under the scenario that Tevez's is contracted to West Ham and that the club are not controlled by the original third-party agreements that caused the Hammers to be fined £5.5million by an independent disciplinary commission.

The original contracts only contained agreements for West Ham to be paid £100,000 if Tevez moved on, but if the striker's agent Kia Joorabchian agrees to the settlement they could get around half the amount they were fined.

West Ham have resigned themselves to losing Tevez but are keen to get an agreement rather than continue paying £1.75million annual wages for a player who will not turn out for them.
