Fans begged him not to leave, but the striker had already made his decision: Carlos Tevez will be leaving Boca Juniors. The 32-year-old bid farewell to the Argentine giants and its fans, as they beat Colon 4-1 on Sunday night.
The former Juventus ace scored that weekend before being taken off to a hero’s applause in the 90th minute, with supporters holding “Don’t go, Carlos” banners. One fan even invaded the pitch to hug and presumably plead with Tevez.
Boca Juniors shortly confirmed after the final whistle that their forward will be leaving. Tevez is on his way to China, where he is expected to sign a £615,000-per-week contract with Shanghai Shenhua.
