Sergio Aguero has reportedly told the Athletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo that he wishes to leave the club in the summer, prompting interest from a host of clubs including Liverpool.
Aguero has been in fantastic form for Athletico Madrid this season, scoring 17 goals and providing 2 assists in 31 games for Los Colchoneros this season. Whilst Aguero has impressed, Athletico have faltered and look set to lose Aguero, Forlan and De Gea as they cannot offer them European football.
“Regarding Kun Aguero,” Balague stated via social media network Twitter. “He would cost 45m euros (plus taxes if At M [Athletico Madrid refuses to sell). Interest from Man City, Real Madrid and Liverpool.”
Whilst Spurs were not mentioned, they will certainly do their utmost to try signing one of the most exciting prospects in world football for a second time. However, their inability to offer him Champions League football could provide a possible obstacle, enabling the history of Real Madrid and financial power of Manchester City to snuff out their chances.
Liverpool once again has a large transfer kitty to delve into during the summer, with new owners the Fenway Sports Group set to hand Kenny Dalglish up to £50 million for squad additions. They seem to have more pressing problems with squad depth – including the apparent need for defensive reinforcements – but look at Aguero as a potential wide player.
Aguero is good friends with in-form Liverpool midfielder Maxi Rodriguez, having played alongside him at club and international level, whilst many are suggesting the success of Fernando Torres’ move to Anfield could prove the perfect template for a successful transition to the Premier League.
Whilst Liverpool is evidently keen, a number of other teams will surely be on red alert – Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Inter Milan have all been recently linked with the South American – ensuring that no team are currently stand-out favourites for his signature.
Whilst Athletico Madrid are still waiting for official confirmation of Aguero’s desire to leave the Vicente Calderon, Quique Sanchez Flores will be preparing for a future without the diminutive attacker as Balague insisted he has told the Madrid hierarchy his career lies elsewhere.
“Kun Aguero has not asked officially 2 be transferred,” Balague tweeted. “No transfer requests exist in Spain. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED HE TOLD CHAIRMAN he wants out.”
