Sergio Agüero’s current deal at Manchester City will run down at the end of this season and he can leave the Etihad as a free agent in the summer, if the Citizens fail to tie him down to a new deal.
Last month, we carried a report from Mundo Deportivo, who explained the 32-year-old’s contract situation with Pep Guardiola’s side means he can be a ‘free shot’ for Barcelona in the summer.
Cadena Ser have a latest report on the forward and they also explain the player has emerged as a target for the La Liga side.
Barcelona will elect their new president in March and the Argentine can be one of ‘bombs’ of the presidential election.
It’s claimed the candidates for the same post have already ‘contacted’ the former Atlético Madrid man’s enviornemnt and have found out that Agüero ‘would be delighted to play’ for the Camp Nou side.
His contract situation in Manchester makes him even more interesting for the Catalan club, considering their poor economic condition.
Agüero’s arrival could help Barca in retaining Lionel Messi, who is also a free agent in the summer.
The two share a good relationship and Cadena Ser states Barcelona are of the belief their friendship could be vital in convincing Messi to extend his stay beyond this season.
Cadena Ser’s title states, ‘Agüero, delighted to come to Barça’.
Time should tell where Agüero will play next season and if he ends up at the Spanish club, it remains to be seen whether it will help Barcelona in convincing Messi to sign a new contract.
