Boca Juniors striker Carlos Tevez has revealed that both Chelsea and Napoli have made a move to sign him.

The former Manchester City, Manchester United and Juventus ace called time on his hugely successful stint in European football in 2015 when making a surprise switch to Boca - his first club.

Tevez has now been tempted into making a return to the Premier League by Chelsea and Serie A by Napoli, but he has no desire to leave his homeland before calling time on his career.

"It is true Chelsea and Napoli want me, but my desire is to stay with Boca until I retire," The Sun quotes him as saying. "I am going to stay at Boca even if Napoli and Chelsea come knocking."

Tevez has also previously spent a season at West Ham United, where he scored seven times in 29 appearances for the club.
