Buenos Aires "Boca Juniors" vice president Pedro Pompilio announced yesterday that one of the most promising Argentine players, Carlos Tevez, will move to the Brazilian club "Corinthians" in January next year.
It is said that "Corinthians" offered 19.5 million US dollars (about 51 million litas) to the Buenos Aires club for the most productive player of the 2004 Olympic football tournament in Athens, who scored eight goals. It is expected that the offer to sell the best Latin American player of 2003 will be accepted at the "Boca Juniors" shareholders' meeting this week.
Tevez attracted the attention of the most powerful European clubs after this summer's "Copa America" tournament, where the Argentine national team only lost to Brazil in the final, and the Athens Olympic Games, where the team led by him had no equals and became champions. The striker is highly sought after by Eindhoven's "PSV", Munich's "Bayern", Barcelona, Milan, and Manchester United.
