Carlos Tevez to become highest paid football player in history

Argentinian football player Carlos Tevez said goodbye to Boca Juniors in tears with his last game for the team, which won against Colon with 4:1. He is continuing his career in China.

Two minutes before the end of the match, the entire La Bombonera stadium started cheering him, and a fan invaded the court in order to kneel before the player, after which Tevez was unable to hide his emotions.

Tevez is leaving Boca Juniors due to dissatisfaction with the club's financial state. He stands to earn USD 80 million in two seasons in his new team, Shanghai Shenhua.

This means that he will surpass the best two players of today, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and become the highest paid football player in the history of the sport.

His second stay in Boca Juniors lasted for 18 months, and he has played for Corinthians, West Ham United, Juventus, Manchester City and Manchester United in his senior career.
