The Argentina forward has loomed large over the Hammers' season, proving instrumental in keeping the club in the Premier League with his outstanding end-of-season form but also causing controversy.

Now Tevez, 23, looks set to leave the club - with Spanish giants Real Madrid one of the possible destinations. He told The Sun: "I really want to join one of Europe's biggest clubs. That's what I've talked to my representatives about."

"I don't know about the interest from Real but it makes me happy that such an important club is interested in me," he added.

"But at the moment there still isn't a concrete offer."

Tevez and international team-mate Javier Mascherano, now with Liverpool, were signed on deals that an independent commission found to be in breach of rules regarding third-party ownership - with Tevez's economic rights owned by Kia Joorabchian.

The Upton Park outfit were fined a record £5.5million but their relegation rivals insist a points deduction would have been appropriate and are still pursuing an investigation into Tevez's eligibility to participate the Hammers' escape from relegation.

Despite his apparent intention to leave, the former Corinthians forward is glad he came to England.

"People at West Ham were incredible with me and I'll never forget that. But of course I would like to get a chance at a big club," he said.

"For the English fans to shout 'Argentina, Argentina' for me as they did at Old Trafford is unexplainable. That they see me as an idol is fantastic."
