BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- Carlos Tevez has committed his immediate future to Boca Juniors following the team's loss to Argentine rivals River Plate in the Copa Libertadores final.

The 34-year-old said Friday he is more motivated than ever to win silverware with Boca, denying media reports in Argentina that he could leave the club.

"I now want to train and work harder than ever to win the 2019 Libertadores," the forward told Radio La Red on Friday. "I want to be one hundred percent, I'm not going to leave now, when the fans are suffering. We are going to show that we can win the Copa Libertadores. The players believe that."

Tevez's comments came five days after Boca's 3-1 extra-time loss to River in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final. The result handed River a 5-3 victory on aggregate.

Boca are currently sixth in Argentina's 26-team first division standings. The Superliga Argentina, as the competition is known, is currently in recess and will resume on January 27.

Tevez has scored 10 goals in 34 appearances across all competitions since returning to Boca - his original club - from Shanghai Shenhua in January.

The former Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus forward's contract with the Argentine club expires next December. Enditem
