Carlos Tevez ‘has three offers from MLS clubs’ and could finish his playing career in the states after leaving boyhood club Boca Juniors
- David Beckham’s Inter Miami have been linked with a move for Carlos Tevez
- MLS clubs can have one ‘designated player’ they can pay outside of salary cap
- Tevez has been linked with running for the Boca Juniors presidency in the future
Carlos Tevez could finish his playing days in the United States after reportedly receiving three offers from MLS clubs.
The 37-year-old left Boca Juniors, the club where he began his professional career, in June and didn’t rule out moving to a new club. Tevez has been linked with running for the presidency at Boca in the near future and as a result would want to distance himself from the current administration.
According to ESPN, three MLS teams are interested in signing the former Manchester City and Juventus striker.

David Beckham’s Inter Miami are among the trio and already have five Argentinians in their squad. Despite the fact they’re second from bottom in the Eastern Conference, Inter appear to have financial muscle to offer Tevez the most lucrative deal.
Atalanta United, managed by Tevez’s former Argentina team-mate Gabriel Heinze, also retain an interest and are monitoring his situation.
Lastly there’s Minnesota United, who earlier this year signed Tevez’s former team mates at Boca, Ramon Alibaba and Emanuel Reynoso.
Tevez admitted he wanted a new challenge after announcing that he was leaving Boca in June
MLS clubs are permitted to make Tevez a ‘designated player’ who they would be able to pay outside of their normal salary cap restrictions.
The former Argentina striker enjoyed a successful return to Boca but admitted last month that he had a desire for a fresh challenge.
After his father died earlier this year, Tevez revealed that he felt burnt out after giving everything for his club.
He said: ‘Today is one of the saddest days of my life, but I am pleased with my decision.’
