Tévez returned to Boca Juniors in 2018 and was part of the Xeneizes for three and a half years before his contract ended last July, prior to the start of the 2021-22 season. Since then, “El Apache” has been a free agent, but at 38 he still hasn’t given any signs of wanting to retire.

Although DC United was the first MLS club interested in acquiring the Argentina international -and according to his agent, they’re on negotiations with them and are close to signing a deal-, when news broke about Tévez desire to arrive in the US, Minnesota United and Orlando City joined the pursue of “El Apache”.
