Carlos Tevez wanted by Boca Juniors

Last updated : 23 May 2011 By Daily Mail

The Buenos Aires side - Tevez's first professional club - have little hope of raising a transfer fee that would be acceptable to Manchester City, but are encouraged by the 27-year-old's desire to be closer to his daughters in South America.

Boca vice-president Juan Carlos Crespi said: 'I want to see Tevez play for Boca. There is good chance.' The striker, who will return to Argentina this week, has often said he would like to return to Boca before the end of his career but admits a move now would be difficult.

'To go back to Boca Juniors would be beautiful but it is very difficult,' he said last week.

'I spoke to (Boca midfielder Juan) Roman Riquelme and, messing around, we agreed I would go back one day. But if we're speaking seriously, financial issues would make my return difficult.'

After qualifying for the Champions League and winning the FA Cup, Roberto Mancini is confident his captain will still be at Eastlands this season.

But Tevez admits he has some serious thinking to do this summer and Boca may explore the kind of loan deal that saw former City forward Robinho return to Brazilian side Santos for six months last year.

City would seek about ?50million if they are to sell Tevez and his wages in excess of ?250,000 a week mean only a handful of European clubs could realistically prise him from the richest club in the world.
