Chinese Super League: Tevez leaving Shanghai Shenhua to join Boca Juniors
[]
We kick-off with the biggest football story in China now, where Carlos Tevez' time in the country has come to an end. The Argentine parting ways with Shanghai Shenhua after just a year with the club, that could be described as less than ideal. The 33-year-old is returning to his boyhood club Boca Juniors in Argentina.
The club posting the news on social media welcoming him back, the forward seen running on a treadmill wearing a Boca shirt. This will be the third time that he will be suiting up for the squad. Tevez arrived in Shanghai amid much fanfare, and was rumoured to be earning 730,000 euros a week, making him one of the world's highest-paid players. But the former, Man United and Juventus striker failed to live up to that lofty paycheque, and scored only four goals in the Chinese championship, dealing with injury and weight issues and even missed the Chinese Cup Final which his team won. During his time in China, he was described as a homesick boy -- well now he gets to return home. Boca currently lead Argentina's first division.
