Manchester United remain ultra-confident Carlos Tevez will eventually become their player after chief executive David Gill confirmed the Red Devils bid to sign the Argentina forward was heading for FIFA.
With no end in sight to the row over Tevez's registration, the 24-year-old, who has scrapped plans to have a medical in Manchester this week, has called in the world governing body in a bid to resolve the issue once and for all.
A special 'Dispute Resolution Chamber' will be set up, possibly within a fortnight, to effectively determine who currently owns Tevez, West Ham or his adviser Kia Joorabchian.
"There has been a lot of discussions over the last few days between Manchester United, West Ham and the Premier League but the case will probably go before FIFA's dispute resolution chamber," said Gill.
"We are very confident this will be resolved in favour of the player and he will be free to achieve his wish of joining Manchester United."
West Ham confirmed they have written to the Premier League this morning requesting the matter be referred to FIFA.
A West Ham spokesman said: "It now makes sense for this to be dealt with by FIFA.
"All parties agree this is the best way forward and of course we will be involved in helping this be resolved as quickly as possible."
