Edinson Cavani has terminated his contract with Valencia to join Boca Juniors in Argentina.

Cavani Joins Boca Juniors After Terminating Valencia Contract

Cavani signed a two-year contract when he joined Valencia after leaving Manchester United as a free agent last summer.

But after scoring seven goals in 28 appearances across all competitions last season, Cavani is on the move again.

The 36-year-old Uruguayan international has signed an 18-month contract with the Argentina giants after reaching an agreement with Valencia to end his deal prematurely.

Valencia only finished two points above the relegation zone last season.

A tweet from Los Che announcing Cavani's exit from the Mestalla Stadium read: 

'Thank you for everything [Edinson Cavani].' 

'Mestalla and Valencia will always be your home. Good luck with your new stage.'

Cavani's move to South America ends a 17-year stay in Europe, turning out also for the likes of Palermo, Napoli and Paris Saint Germain.

Cavani will wear the number 10 jersey at his new club.
