"I need to be closer to them and to spend more time with them," Tevez said in a statement.
"Living without my children in Manchester has been incredibly challenging for me. Everything I do, I do for my daughters.
"I need them to be happy because my life is about them now. I need to be in a place where they can adapt.
"I hope that the people understand the difficult
circumstances I have been living under the past 12 months, in regards to
my family." "It is with great regret that I have to inform Manchester City of my
wish to leave the club," added Tevez, who is currently on international
duty with hosts Argentina in the Copa America.
"I would like to state that I have great respect for the
club, its supporters and the owner, Sheikh Mansoor, who has been nothing
other than respectful to me.
"I hope that most of the City fans will understand that I
have given them my all on the pitch and that my dedication to the City
cause has been 100% on the pitch.
"I hope I have done my bit to help City continue their
progress towards their ambition to be champions of England and to
advance in the Champions League.
"I have no doubt that the players and management of City will achieve great success in the future."
