It is not news that Argentine player; Carlos Tevez has moved to ‘Serie A’ side Juventus but he will be sharing the  number 10 with past players of the club, Del Piero, Baggio and Platini before him, after sealing his move to Juventus.

A statement said Tevez had reached a deal to sign a three-year-contract. There was no word on the transfer fee but media reports have put it at 12 million euros (15.60 million U.S. dollars).

Del Piero spent almost 20 years at Juventus, helping them win the 1996 Champions League and sticking by the club when they spent one season in Serie B in 2006/07 after being demoted for match-fixing.

He left for Australia’s Sydney FC last year having broken almost every Juventus record in the book. Michel Platini and Roberto Baggio also famously wore Juventus’ number 10 shirt.

On Wednesday, Tevez was mobbed by hundreds of fans who greeted him amid chaotic scenes at Milan’s Malpensa airport, before he was whisked to Turin.

Television pictures showed Tevez being mobbed by fans before being taken back into the terminal by Juventus staff and put into a car via a side entrance.

Tevez was unperturbed by the commotion.

Handing Tevez Del Piero’s former shirt is a mark of intent from Juve, who have won the Serie A twice in a row without a big name forward but are now targeting renewed European glory.

Coach Antonio Conte has rotated between any two of Sebastian Giovinco, Alessandro Matri, Mirko Vucinic and Fabio Quagliarella, who have shared the goals evenly between them.

Athletic Bilbao forward Fernando Llorente joins Juventus next month.
