Naohiro Takahara's Argentine adventure with Boca Juniors came to a suddenly and unhappy end a few days ago when the Argentine club decided to cut short the one-year-loan deal of the Japan striker.

Takahara returned home on Friday to rejoin Jubilo Iwata.

According to Iwata, Boca blamed the termination on Argentina's economic crisis. The one-year deal ended after just six months and Takahara's salary for January has reportedly remained unpaid.
