Simone Pepe isn't surprised by Carlos Tevez's departure to Boca Juniors.

Both players are leaving Juve this week.

"I did expect it, as Carlos had this immense desire to go back to Boca and Juventus did well to respect his decision," said Pepe.

“I will always remember him as a fantastic player and a very humble man. I'd happily go to Boca with him!"
