Official: C. Tevez became the highest paid footballer

Carlos Tevez officially left Buenos Aires' "Boca Juniors" and joined the Shanghai "Shenhua" club.

The 32-year-old Argentine had been considering the Chinese offer for some time, and now his transfer has been officially confirmed by both teams.

Former "Manchester United", "Manchester City" and Turin's "Juventus" sniper Gustavo Poyet will join Obafemi Martins and Demba Ba in the eleven.

Furthermore, he will become the highest paid football player in the world and will pocket a staggering 615 thousand pounds sterling per week.

With such an offer, "Boca Juniors" could only wish Tevez good luck.
