The Peruvian played for Boca between 1997 and 1998 but feels he has unfinished business at the Argentinian giants.

He told Radio Rivadavia: "I'm enthusiastic at the possibility of returning to Boca because I spent just a few months there and I had the bad taste of not having won anything in two seasons.

"Football offers me another chance and I'd like to return.

"My contract ends in 2008 and I'd like to go back to Argentina. The Boca fans are unique."

Solano is a fans' favourite on Tyneside and has impressed this season with the way he has dropped back into a more unfamiliar full-back role.

But it appears he has had enough of the Premiership and is itching for a move back to South America.

He added: "I love Boca. I'd like to go back to Argentina because I love everything there: the passion, the football and the food."

Solano has been capped over 70 times by Peru but admits he will not be taking part in this year's Copa America.

He said: "If the coach (Julio Cesar Uribe) has not named me yet in this new era he started, it is because he doesn't consider me in his plans.

"I will not play the Copa America."
