West Ham hero Carlos Tevez has pledged his future to the Hammers.
The Argentina striker helped his side stay in the Premiership last weekend with the winning goal against champions Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Reports have claimed the 23-year-old will move to Real Madrid or Inter Milan for £30 million in the summer as he is still owned by Media Sports Investment (MSI).
But while Tevez admitted he would like to sign for a European giant, his first choice is to stay at the Hammers.
"The West Ham supporters were incredible to me, I will never forget it, and so West Ham will always have priority," Tevez said.
"But, if they are going to sell me, yes, I would like to play for a big European club."
Tevez is still at the centre of a bitter row with four Premiership clubs after the Hammers escaped a points deduction after breaking Premier League rules in signing the Argentine international.
Sheffield United, Fulham, Charlton, and Wigan are furious West Ham were only fined with the Blades threatening legal action following their relegation to the Championship.
Tevez is currently on a holiday in Bueno Aires and hopes to play in Argentina's Copa America campaign which begins on June 26th, a tournament which they finished runners-up to arch rivals Brazil in 2004.
