Is it Messi now?
City says goodbye to legend with a statue
A long common era is coming to an end for Sergio Agüero and Manchester City: The striker will leave the club after the end of the season. He is honored at City, but at another top club he could turn things around wonderfully. At least they hope so.
Striker Sergio Agüero will leave Manchester City at the end of the season after ten years at the club. The leaders of the English Premier League had decided not to offer the Argentina international a new contract. Since moving from Atletico Madrid in 2011, Agüero has played 384 games for Man City and set a club record with 257 goals. In his first season, Aguero Manchester City had their first championship in 44 years with a goal deep in stoppage time in their last game of the season.
With Manchester he won the championship four times, the League Cup five times and the FA Cup once. Due to injuries, Aguero was only used in 14 games this season. “Sergio’s contribution to Manchester City over the past 10 years cannot be overstated,” said club boss Khaldoon Al Mubarak. The entrepreneur from the United Arab Emirates announced that a statue of Aguero would be erected.
“They all write Barça, Barça, Barça”
Most recently, Agüero, despite all his services, no longer felt valued – especially by his teammates: “They never give me the ball,” the angry Agüero complained after Manchester’s second leg against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Champions League – and trudged furiously into the locker room while his teammates were celebrating the quarter-finals.
How things will go on for him has not yet been clarified, at least not yet announced. FC Barcelona are said to be interested in the services of the Argentine international. Agüero didn’t bother to dispel the rumors lately: “They’re all writing Barça, Barça, Barça,” he said on Twitch. “Let’s wait a little, let’s take a look. Stop. We’re still at City.” Now the separation is clear.
In Barcelona they are currently working hard to make club idol Lionel Messi shameful about staying. Part of the feel-good strategy should be transfers, one of Messi’s national team mates Agüero could put the superstar in a good mood, it is said.
A former national team-mate Messis and Agüeros is already suspending a possible transfer: “Bringing Agüero to Barcelona could ensure that Messi stays,” said Pablo Zabaleta, who played 58 times with Messi in the Albiceleste. the Spanish sports magazine “Sport”. “It was said a few weeks ago that Messi could go to Manchester City because of Aguero.” Now everything could go the other way.
