Juventus striker Carlos Tevez has declared he wants to return to Boca Juniors.

Tevez is tied to Juve until 2016.

"My whole family and I are Boca fans and I want to play in that shirt once again," Tevez said to La Repubblica.

"I don't know when, but I will return home. I've been in Europe for many years and I need my family - I miss my father, my mother and my brother.

"I can't complain as everyone has treated me well, but my mentality is Argentine and my desire is to go back to Buenos Aires.

"Of course people would prefer if the Tevez family all moved to Turin. I like it here, but my life is over there. I'm a family man, as we say."
