Carlos Tevez will use the mid-season break in the Primera Division to decide whether to accept a big-money offer from Shanghai Shenhua.
The Boca Juniors forward has been heavily linked with a switch to the Chinese Super League after Shanghai chairman Wu Xiaohui revealed there had been a breakthrough in talks for Tevez s services.
An annual figure of €40million has reportedly been offered to Tevez to move to China, with coach Gus Poyet saying it would be a pleasure to have the Argentina international in his squad.
Tevez remains unsure what his future will hold, though, and says he will use his time off to make a decision.
I do not know what I am going to do, he told a media conference.
I have many problems in my head to think about, [like] whether in February or March I m going to be in China.
When I m on vacation, with a cool head, I ll think about it. I am always thinking about what s best for me, my family and for Boca. I know about the offer and the numbers.
Not only could I leave [Boca], I could also stop playing. I still don t know what I m going to do. I reached the end of the year exhausted, with a thousand things in my head. That s the time to stop a little and think about the future.
I think about retiring, yes, that s why I mention it.
Tevez returned to Boca in July 2015, having spent the previous two campaigns in Italy with Juventus. He has scored twice in nine league appearances this term.
