Carlos Tevez has arrived at Manchester City's training ground for talks with club officials.
The striker walked into the Carrington complex shortly before 5pm, having jetted into Manchester Airport from his native Argentina three hours earlier.
Tevez shook hands with two City officials upon his arrival, before heading inside.
The striker has been exiled in Argentina for the past three months following a falling out with manager Roberto Mancini when he refused to warm up in the Champions League clash at Bayern Munich in September.
And Tevez reignited the disagreement when he claimed Mancini had treated him "like a dog" shortly before departing South America.
Giving his version of events in Munich, Tevez said: "When he brings on (Nigel) de Jong and takes off (Edin) Dzeko and we're losing 2-0 I thought it was a defensive substitution so I decided to sit back down.
"Dzeko comes off and is really angry and has a go at Mancini, so I go and sit down, but then he turns around and sees me.
"He's in the middle of an argument and tells me to keep on warming up and treats me like a dog. So when he spoke to me in that tone of voice, and I said 'No, I'm not going out'.
"So I was willing to play, but the coach was in such a foul mood because he had that argument with Dzeko. He started on me as well, started swearing at me.
"I was very calm. I was just sitting on the bench and you can see from the footage that I was calm and just talking with (Pablo) Zabaleta. Mancini said some horrible things to me."
But despite his outburst, Tevez appears ready to attempt to settle his differences with Mancini on his return to the club.
