Tevez admits he is considering China switch - or retirement

Boca Juniors star Carlos Tevez has admitted he is considering a lucrative move to China in 2017, but said he could still leave football altogether.

The club idol has been at the Bombonera since July 2015, his second spell at the club where he made his debut as a teenager and lifted the Copa Libertadores in 2003.

His hopes of winning another Libertadores title, however, have so far been frustrated and, with Boca out of the competition in 2017, he confessed that he could take up Shanghai Shenhua's offer to play in the Super League.

"Right now I am only thinking about the Superclasico," he told reporters, in reference to Sunday's blockbuster derby against bitter rivals River Plate.
