The rumours have been circulating since Luis Suarez left the team. One of the best in his history, the striker joined title rivals Atletico Madrid earlier this season. Barcelona, which had been heating the exchange market for two years with ‘I want an alternative to Suarez’ and ‘I want an alternative to Suarez’, left Suarez but did not bring an alternative to the team. Yes, Martin Brathwaite is in the team, but it is an exaggeration to think of him as an alternative to Suarez. So the search for a new striker is going on.
And the man whose name is being heard most loudly in search of this new striker is Sergio Aguero, the veteran Argentine striker of Manchester City. Aguero’s 10-year relationship with City could end this time around, with the market buzzing. The Argentine striker lost his place in Pep Guardiola’s team long ago. That’s why Guardiola doesn’t like to play so many strikers in the team these days. As a result, although City’s contract with Aguero has gradually expired, City has little interest in renewing the contract. As a result, the best striker in the history of the team is arguably leaving City.
Meanwhile, Barcelona wants to take this opportunity. Barca does not have much money to buy players now. As a result, they are looking for ‘free’ players to bring in new ones who do not have to spend any money on transfer fees. And when the contract with City expires in June, Aguero is ‘free’! Despite his age, there is no time to question Aguero’s quality. So the Spanish media reported that they are trying to bring such a striker in the team for free.
Since Juan Laporta was elected the new president, Barcelona has been trying to bring in Sergio Aguero as the new striker. According to Spanish media Marca, the player’s spokesman Ernan Reguera has been in talks with Juan Laporta for a long time. Aguero himself is reportedly looking to play for another top club before returning to a club in his home country.
And there is nothing new to say about Aguero’s friendship with Messi. Whenever the two go to play international matches, stay in the same room in the hotel, they have such a close friendship. So if Messi himself renews his contract with Barcelona by bringing in a friend like Aguero, Laporta’s thoughts might be like that! All the friends Messi had in Barcelona, from Xavi-Iniesta to Fabregas, from Neymar to Suarez — everyone has left the club. If Messi wants to leave Barcelona, it may be that Messi is not a friend of the club. Laporta may be thinking of bringing a friend to Messi by bringing Aguero.
Since the beginning of the season, Barcelona coach Coman has been trying to bring Leon Dutch striker Memphis Deppi as the club’s new striker. The deal with Leon will also end next June. The question remains as to how reasonable it would be to bring Aguero to the team without the coach’s favourite striker.
The wait is just next June. Messi-Aguero-Depai, everyone’s fate will be decided in a few months.
