Hopefully mistranslated quotes but they seem quite clear to me. :/
At least he says he will play for 3-4 more years, hopefully all with us.

Homesick Carlos Tevez has once again reiterated his desire to retire early from the game in an outburst about the money-driven characters involved in football.
Despite clocking up nine goals in typically determined performances for Manchester City this term, the striker has revealed that his heart is no longer in the game.
His latest comments come in a long line of statements of discontent concerning his opinions about modern-day football.
"I don't want to play any more," he said to the TyC Sports.
"I'm tired of football, but also tired of people who work in football. I don't want to play any more, and I'm talking seriously.
"Football is only about money, and I don't like it. There are so many agents with really young footballers... it's awful, as these young players are not interesting in winning titles, they only want money.
"The young players think that they have won something in football because they have two mobile phones and a house. Today, there are many bad people in the football business, and you have to fight with them all the time. I'm tired of that too."
Tevez also launched a tirade about the disrespect shown by young players to senior figures in the game.
"Today, the young players have no education at all, and I don't want to listen to them. When I played in Boca, when [Martin] Palermo or [Juan Roman] Riquelme talked, I listened to them. So I don't want a young player to tell me 'why did you do that?' in the dressing-room. I would punch him, as I have won 13 titles in my career.
"I'm going to play football for three or four years in Europe, then I will quit. I would play for Boca again only if my father asks me to do it, but I don't want to play in Argentina again. If you ask me, I would love to have my old life back in my neighbourhood of Fuerte Apache as I don't like my way of life today.
"I don't want to suffer any more, I just want to be calm, I want some peace. But at the moment, football feels like a job for me."
