Argentine football star Carlos Tevez attends a press conference by Shanghai Greenland Shenhua FC in Shanghai, China, 21 January 2017.
Argentine forward Carlos Tevez said Saturday (21 January 2017) he will have to earn every yuan of his reportedly world-leading salary as he officially joined Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua, declaring it his "new home." Tevez, who arrived to a rapturous fan welcome Thursday, is arguably the highest-profile foreign player to ever play in China, one of a slew of overseas stars lured by increasingly lavish sums that have triggered a backlash from Chinese authorities. The 32-year-old was introduced to local media Saturday and held his first workout with the club, sealing a deal that Argentine media said earns him around 38 million euros ($41 million) a year. That would make him the world's top-grossing footballer, out-pacing even megastars like compatriot Lionel Messi and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo.
