The 24-year old is currently the subject of a British record transfer bid over £30million, but insists that he will not continue his stay in Europe past the age of 28.

Tevez has impressed since coming to Europe from Corinthians in 2006. The Argentinean helped West Ham United stay in the Premier League during his first season in England, and claimed the Champions League and Premier League crowns last term with the Old Trafford side.

However, Tevez revealed that he is finding difficult to adjust to the European life-style, and wants to return to his native country and his family.

Tevez told The Mirror: "At various times I've told myself that I want to retire at 28. I will only stay in Europe for a maximum of another four years. Life is very different here from Argentina - even the restaurants close earlier. If you're not with your family things get difficult."

Despite his intention to depart from football in four years, Tevez remains focussed on reaping success with his current club.

He continued: "There are always new challenges. Mine is to be the ultimate champion. It's not like now I've won the Champions League I don't want it again - I want to repeat the success."

Meanwhile, as the Tevez transfer goes through, the Premier League revealed that they will no longer permit third-party ownership agreements. Both Tevez and compatriot Javier Mascherano arrived at West Ham as part of Kia Joorabchian’s MSI empire.

A Premier League spokesperson stated: "We are happy that United's agreement with Tevez met all our requirements last year, but this will be the last time we will allow a player owned by a third party to join a Premier League club."

Didsbury Dave, you aint happy with robinho going off your past posts about the guy, and this looks like your not happy about tevez playing for us, why is that?
 
I've just read it again. Of course he's not retiring.

But it is worrying that he's talking like this when he should be moving towards his peak.

Just a theory:

He started as a kid as someone touted for the top, in his teens he was an international and people raved about him. He's now reaching that peak in terms of age, and it's just not happening for him. He hasn't got what it takes to get to the top: he's been left behind.

And he knows it.

Over-dramatic? I hope so. I really hope so.

im a huge fan of Tevez(why i watch City when I can) but hes been poor for club and country for some time now.
 
He needs to take the Superman treatment. Look long and hard at himself and his performances, be honest with himself with no excuses or blaming others, and make the necessary changes to ensure he is the very best he can be in what is a short career. It's also known as 'the Stevie Ireland Man Up FFS' method. Tevez could lose a few pounds to start with
