UEFA Champion’s league finalists Juventus confirmed Argentine Striker Carlos Tevez's 6.5 million euros transfer to his hometown club Boca Juniors on Monday, and announced that it was getting options on four players from Boca in return.
The Italian giants would not really see the transfer fee they were paid by the Argentine club really because Juventus will be paying Boca 3.5 million euros to acquire forward Guido Vadala on a two-year loan, plus 1 million euros each for the rights to midfielders Rodrigo Bentancur Colman, Franco Sebastian Cristaldo and Adrian Andres Cubas.
Juventus can purchase Vadala's full rights for 9.4 million euros by April 2017. The 31-year-old Tevez was presented by Boca at the club's Bombonera stadium in front of a large crowd and Argentine Legend Diego Maradona . He was a fan favourite when he played for Boca from 2001-2004 and has repeatedly never hid his desire to end his career with the Buenos Aires club.
Tevez left Boca to play for Brazil's Corinthians, then West Ham, Manchester United and Manchester City in England, before joining Italian champion Juventus two years ago on a three-year contract. While scoring 50 goals for Juventus over the past two seasons, Tevez often celebrated by displaying undershirts bearing the names of different Buenos Aires neighbourhoods.
The deals for Colman, Cristaldo and Cubas would see these players joining Juventus starting with the 2017-18 season. Juventus can then purchase their full rights for three separate agreed fees.
Tevez during the unveiling in front of a 40,000 crowd at the Bambonera Stadium reiterated "that he always thought of coming home"....see more photos from the unveiling below..
