If Carlos Tevez does return to Boca Juniors, Juventus will get one from Mario Mandzukic, Robin van Persie, Edinson Cavani and Radamel Falcao.
Tevez is a lifelong Boca fan and confirmed he will end his career in Buenos Aires, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll wait until his contract expires in June 2016.
According to Tuttosport, Juve are increasingly irritated by the saga and want a definitive answer by next week.

According to Tuttosport, Juve are increasingly irritated by the saga and want a definitive answer by next week.
They’ve already signed Paulo Dybala from Palermo for approximately €40m, but another top striker is needed if Tevez goes.
The main target appears to be Atletico Madrid’s Croatia international Mandzukic, who scored in last night’s 1-1 draw against Italy.
He also had a penalty saved by Juventus captain Gigi Buffon during that Euro 2016 qualifier and could be secured for around €25m.
However, if Mandzukic heads to Manchester United, then Juve can go for unsettled Old Trafford figure Van Persie instead.
United also released Falcao from his season-long loan deal, not taking up their option to buy from Monaco.
Now Falcao is on the verge of joining Chelsea, but it’s reported Juventus are still in talks for a possible loan with option to buy.
Far less likely options are PSG striker Cavani, who seems ready to stay in Paris if Zlatan Ibrahimovic goes to Milan, and Napoli’s Gonzalo Higuain.
