Carlos Tevez wants to leave China

Tango media confirmed that Carlos Tevez is not happy with life in China even though he is receiving the highest salary in the world.

In late December 2016, Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua shocked the world when they spent 10 million pounds to recruit Carlos Tevez from Boca Junior and turned him into the highest-paid player in football: 615,000 pounds per week.

Tango media confirmed that Tevez wanted to leave after only 3 months of arriving in the Chinese Super League.

The former Juventus striker could not resist the lure of money and accepted to trade his love and loyalty to Boca for a "crazy" salary in the country of a billion people.

Tevez has only been in China for 3 months but the Argentine media has confirmed that he is unhappy and wants to return home as soon as possible. The front page of Ole newspaper carried a picture of Tevez along with the statement that "El Apache" is having difficulty adapting to life in China.

The 33-year-old striker has only played once in Shanghai Shenhua's 0-2 defeat to Australian representative Brisbane Roar in the AFC Champions League play-off round.

Argentine President Mauricio Macri, who claims to be a Boca Junior fan, wanted Carlos Tevez to return to the Bombonera in 2018.

Tevez had an unsuccessful debut with Shanghai Shenhua.

However, the 58-year-old politician's intention will almost certainly not come true because before buying Tevez, Shanghai Shenhua included a clause that any club wanting to have "El Apache" in the next 2 years from 2016 will have to pay a fee of up to 41 million pounds - an unimaginable number for a 33-year-old striker and of course beyond Boca Junior's ability to pay.

In an interview with the press, Adrian Roucco - Carlos Tevez's representative briefly stated: "I have spoken to Tevez and he will not be going anywhere for the next 2 years."
