'Homesick' Carlos Tevez Tells Juventus He Wants Boca Juniors Return

After a storied career in Europe, the Argentine hit-man wants to go home...

Carlos Tevez is the latest star who could be leaving Turin following Juventus' defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League final, with reports suggesting a move to Boca Juniors is on the cards. The Daily Mail claim the Argentine forward has told his club that he wants to return to his homeland this summer and sign for the team where it all began. Tevez, who still has a year remaining on his contract with The Old Lady, scored 26 goals in 75 appearances and if a return were to occur, it would be likely that the striker would out-do that tally with ease having scored 20 in a Serie A winning campaign in 2014/2015.
Currently lining-up for Argentina as they attempt to win back the Copa America trophy, the former Man Utd is rumoured to be homesick after a storied career around Europe. A move to South America would see "El Apache" link up with fellow international team mate Fernando Gago, but the Argentine club will have to fight off interest from England, with the 31-year-old having previously spent seven years in the Premier League. With continuous reports linking French midfielder Paul Pogba and captain Andrea Pirlo with moves away from the Italian champions, the departure of Tevez could see a possible undoing of the spine of Juventus' starting XI that took Europe by storm last season. However, with the signing of striker Paulo Dybala already wrapped up and on-going talks with Atletico Madrid's Mario Mandzukic taking place, it would seem that planning is already under-way for a replacement.
