Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani has joined Argentine side Boca Juniors on an 18-month contract after his deal with Valencia was terminated.
“Happy to have you home,” the Buenos Aires-based club wrote on Twitter.
Cavani, 36, had a contract until June 2024 at Valencia after joining from Manchester United last summer.
But the former Paris-St Germain player scored just seven goals in 28 games last season for the Spanish side.
Valencia finished two points above the La Liga relegation zone in 2022/23 and have changed their manager seven times in three years.
Cavani remains part of the international setup with Uruguay, and has scored 58 goals in 136 appearances for his country.
He left Danubio in his homeland for Palermo of Serie A in 2007, before developing a reputation as an elite goalscorer in spells with Napoli and PSG before his transfer to United in 2020.
Boca Juniors won their 35th Argentine league title in 2022, but are eighth in this season’s table as things stand.
Ex-United goalkeeper Sergio Romero and former Marseille striker Dario Benedetto are the star names in the Buenos Aires side’s squad.
