The Argentine striker has been informed that if he is to continue his troubled career in China, then he must return to the club by Boxing Day
Carlos Tevez has been told that he must return to Shanghai Shenhua by December 26 if his troubled spell in China is to continue.
The Argentine secured a switch to the Chinese Super League (CSL) in December 2016 amid much fanfare, with a lucrative transfer package luring him away from his homeland at Boca Juniors.
The 33-year-old former Manchester United and Juventus forward has, however, struggled for form in Asia, which has sparked endless rounds of speculation regarding his future.
