Juventus striker Carlos Tevez is on the verge of rejoining Boca Juniors, according to the Argentinian club's president.

Buenos Aires-born Tevez has always maintained he’d like to end his career with Boca and has made no secret of his desire to return to Argentina, despite having 12 months remaining on his Juventus contract.

And speaking to ESPN Argentina on Friday Boca president Daniel Angelici said he expects 31-year-old Tevez "will sign the contract" with the club when the Copa America finishes next week.
