Gareth Barry is keen to extend his deal at Manchester City because he is still ambitious to win trophies.
Driving charge
Tevez, who has yet to discuss a new deal, is due at Macclesfield police station this week to answer bail after being arrested on Thursday on suspicion of driving whilst disqualified.
The charge carries a possible six-month jail term if Tevez is found guilty but Barry does not expect his team-mate's attitude to be affected - as shown by his weekend hat-trick against Barnsley.
"It takes a lot to take Carlos' mind off football and get him agitated," said Barry.
"If you had seen him at training this week, it's as though he has got no problems away from the pitch.
"Nothing really fazes him. In general, if a football player has problems off the pitch the best place to be to get rid of them is on it, either in training or in the stadium.
"It can certainly help take your mind off them for 90 minutes anyway."
