Sergio Aguero’s contract with Manchester City expires at the end of the season and the player is set to leave after a decade being spent with the Blues of Manchester. According to renowned Italian journalist, Fabrizio Romano, he wasn’t even approached by the authorities at Manchester City regarding a contract extension.
The Argentinian intends on staying in England and given that Liverpool and Manchester United are out of the question due to his loyalty for their club, Chelsea could be the only possible destination for the player given their financial strength.
The Blues will be looking to replace Olivier Giroud, whose contract ends in the summer and an experienced professional like Aguero could be the perfect name to succeed the Frenchman at the Bridge.
The player himself stated that City were really unclear with their communication regarding his future and that it was only at the beginning of the ongoing week that manager Pep Guardiola and the authorities sat down and discussed things with him.
Aguero goes down as the best striker in not only the history of Manchester City but also in the Premier League, having scored some of the most crucial goals for the Sky Blues over the last ten years.
Barcelona is another strong candidate for the player’s signature, and the presence of Lionel Messi at the club only adds to the leverage that the Spanish outfit can have on the move. Messi and Aguero are best friends off the pitch, and also share rooms during international duty.
