Tevez Snubs Chelsea Overtures, To Finish Career At Boca Junior

Former Man City forward, Carlos Tevez claims he will snub a move to Chelsea this summer to see out his career with Boca Juniors. The Argentine striker, who won the Premier League with both Manchester United and Man City, claims that Chelsea and Italian side Napoli want to bring him back to Europe, where he spent nine years with West Ham, both Manchester clubs and Antonio Conte’s Juventus.

Tevez returned to Buenos Aires and Boca Juniors in 2015, and he may have made it clear that he is not interested in going back to europe.

“I’m fine at Boca,” said the 32, year-old, quoted in Italy’s Corriere dello Sport. “Indeed my idea, my dream is to finish my career as a player in this wonderful club.

“Europe? Yes, it’s true Napoli and Chelsea seek me, but I repeat what I said before. My desire is to stay at Boca until I retire.”

West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan had said earlier this month he had explored means of getting Tevey back but the deal broke down over the player’s wage demands.

Tevez helped save Westham from relegation in 2007.

He later left for Juve in 2013, after stints with Man Utd and Man City, when new Chelsea boss Conte was in charge and went on to win back-to-back Serie A titles.
