Carlos Tevez confirmed he will “defend the Juventus jersey till death,” but then return to Boca Juniors in 2016.
The Argentine’s current contract expires in June 2016 and he has never disguised his intention to return home in the final years of his career.
“The Number 10 will always belong to Alessandro Del Piero, but I will defend the Juventus jersey till death. I think of the club symbol on the front. That is the biggest responsibility,” he told Tuttosport.

The Argentine’s current contract expires in June 2016 and he has never disguised his intention to return home in the final years of his career.
“The Number 10 will always belong to Alessandro Del Piero, but I will defend the Juventus jersey till death. I think of the club symbol on the front. That is the biggest responsibility,” he told Tuttosport.
“The future is for me already done and dusted. When I signed with Juventus I was very clear to the directors that it would be my last contract before my return to Boca. However, first I want to win everything here.
“The Champions League is everyone’s dream. We believe that we can go forward, as Juve have four or five real champions supported by a great team. Paul Pogba has the right mind-set and he will become a champion.
“The Scudetto will be a battle side by side with Roma until the very end.”
Tevez confessed to being “surprised” that Antonio Conte quit Juve just one day into pre-season training, but has now adapted well to Max Allegri.
“All the Juventini struggled to comprehend Conte’s decision at first. There was uncertainty at that time and we were worried. I always focused only on training.
“With Allegri we changed tactical system, but not the spirit of the squad. With him I have more freedom on the pitch.”
There are reports Daniel Osvaldo could return to Juventus on loan from Inter after his furious row with the Nerazzurri.
“I read that Juventus want him and that makes me happy,” added Tevez. “He is a great friend. He’s a good lad really, just more hot-blooded than others… He has to learn to control himself more. He certainly couldn’t get away with that sort of thing here, because Juve don’t mess about.”
