Carlos Tevez

Manchester City are reportedly keeping tabs on 17-year-old Boca Juniors talent Valentin Barco, who is turning heads in Argentina after breaking into the South American giant’s squad. According to Goal, the Premier League champions are tracking the versatile fullback, with Barco regarded as one of the top prospects at Boca Juniors after being discovered by the same scout who found both Juan Roman Riquelme and former City striker Carlos Tevez.

Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez were formidable together during their time at Manchester United. In an attacking trident that featured the great Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez wreaked havoc on defences in the Premier League and across Europe. Tevez joined United from West Ham in the summer of 2007 and enjoyed a stellar first season at the club.

According to reports, United States Major League Soccer side D. C. United are keen to sign former Manchester United and Argentina international striker Carlos Tevez and have opened talks about the possibility of acquiring his services. Tevez, who has also played for Italian Serie A giants Juventus, is attracting a lot of interest from a host of clubs both within Europe and beyond since leaving Boca Juniors last summer and it looks like he would be returning to football action soon.

Former Manchester United star and their current highest goalscorer of all-time Wayne Rooney has revealed that he was very much devastated when heearned that his former strike partner and friend Carlos Tevez would be leaving Old Trafford. The former Argentina international superstar broke the partnership between him and Rooney after he decided that he was not going to be signing a permanent contract following his loan transfer from fellow Premier League club West Ham United in 2009.

Carlos Tevez has lost his fight against the Argentine government. The legal team of the Boca Junior legend had gotten an injunction against the government, which would have ruled Tevez out of paying “wealth tax” but a court in Argentina has disregarded this ruling.

The wealth tax which was introduced in 2020 by the Senate, was implemented to cover the huge cost of medical supplies since the coronavirus pandemic started. The tax which is seen as a form of “solidarity contribution” would see wealthy Argentines pay between 2 to 3.5 percent on assets exceeding 200 million pesos ($2.1 million).

An Argentinian Court has struck out an injunction from the legal team representing football star Carlos Tevez. The former Boca Juniors, Manchester City and Manchester United attacker had filed an injunction through his lawyers to challenge the wealth tax from government. The wealth tax has been initiated by the government in Argentina to cater to tax on large fortunes.
The Federal Administrative Court Number 5 in Argentina turned down the bid from Carlos Tevez to avoid paying the ‘wealth tax’ levy.

A law passed by the Senate in Argentina approved the levy in December 2020 and it is for wealth citizens whose assets exceed $2.1m. The levy is dependent on the value of the person's assets and where the assets are situated. The levy ranges from 2 to 3.5%.

Ex-West Ham United striker Marlon Harewood has revealed what ignited the great escape at the East London club during the 2006/07 Premier League season.

While speaking recently on the UndrThe Cosh podcast,Harewood said there was a huge fight in the West Ham United dressing room weeks before the amazing victory run started and that could have ignited the good form that saw the Hammers secure Premier League safety on the final day of the season.

Harewood became a West Ham United player in 2003 following his transfer from Nottingham Forest and he was in the Hammers squad for the 2006/07 season. The season started dramatically for the Hammers with the signings of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano who both joined from Corinthians in the Brazilian league.

Argentine striker Carlos Tevezfeatured for a lot of teams in leagues in countries such as England, Italy, Brazil and Argentina. However, the player earned the most salary while he was in China.

A report from the Daily Star revealed that Carlos Tevez was earning £610,000 on a weekly basis as his salary while he was on the books of Chinese Super League outfit Shanghai Shenshua. The club had paid £9m to sign Carlos Tevez from Boca Juniors in his native Argentina.

The signing of Tevez at Shanghai Shenshua was masterminded by Uruguayan football icon Gustavo Poyet. Ex-Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea player Poyet made the signing of Tevez as one of the big decisions during his time at Shanghai Shenshua.

Carlos Tevez has been named as one of the three role models for Panama striker Rolando Blackburn who's hoping to fire his country to next year's FIFA World Cup tournament on Qatari soil with goals. Blackburn mentioned Argentine footballer Carlos Tevez as one of his role models in an exclusive interview with the official website of world's football governing body, FIFA.
