Agent: ‘Juventus wanted Tevez back’

By Football Italia staff

Carlos Tevez will sign for Corinthians, but his agent reveals Juventus wanted the striker back.

The Bianconeri allowed Tevez to return to his boyhood club, Boca Juniors, last summer but it appears the Argentine international is returning to another of his former teams.

“Obviously we can only say Carlos is a Corinthians player after the signatures,” Kia Joorabchian told reporters in Argentina.

“We’re talking about a done deal though, the transfer is done it’s just missing the signature on the contract.

“There were offers from Juventus, Atletico Madrid and two English clubs but Carlos prefers to go back to Brazil.”
