Sergio Aguero to Join Barcelona Next Season: Claims Argentine Press

(This entry was originally posted in this blog on December 6, 2008 and the information is based on that time.)

Argentine striker Sergio Aguero will join Barcelona next season as Barcelona President Joan Laporta is in discussion with Sergio Aguero’s current club Atletico Madrid. This has been suggested by two Argentine dailies Golpasion and El Depornauta. According to Argentine media, Barcelona is ready to pay €55 million as transfer fee for the 20-year old Argentine striker.

Sergio Aguero is one of the young prospects of Argentine football. Since joining Atletico Madrid in 2006, he has grown as a player and gathered experience

Goal.com reported:

The two publications claim that Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, is currently in discussions and hopes to to bring the player to Catalonia for June next year.
El Depornauta says that Barça will pay €55 million for Agüero, who rejected a massive offer to leave the Madrid side for Chelsea this summer.
Agüero joined Atlético Madrid from Independiente back in 2006 and has since become their most valuable player, growing in stature and promise to lead the line with Diego Forlán.

Atletico Madrid is currently at the 6th place in the league standing, despite Aguero’s excellent performance. Naturally, Sergio Aguero may want to play for a big club like Barcelona in what would ensure him regular Champions League appearance. I do not know whether to believe this report or not, but one thing is for sure that any big club would happily sign a player like Sergio Aguero who is still 20 and has a number of years left in his career. Now, let us see if Sergio Aguero really makes a move to Barcelona next season.
