Manchester City have confirmed Sergio Agüero will leave the club once his contract at the Etihad expires after this season.

The 32-year-old has not announced where he will move next as he continues to attract interest from elsewhere.

Leeds United are in the picture for signing the striker, if a report from Mundo Deportivo is to be believed.

The newspaper states the former Atlético Madrid man will be delighted with a move to Barcelona. However, his signing is not a priority for the Catalan club and their manager, Ronald Koeman, wants his side to sign Memphis Depay in the next market.

These two factors have forced the Argentina international to ‘value other proposals’ he has received, and this includes the Whites, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.

A move to Juve could be possible if one of their attackers is sold.

At PSG, Mauricio Pochettino shares a good relationship with the Citizens star’s agent and the Ligue 1 side’s manager also appreciates the frontman. The Paris club will consider making an approach for him if either Neymar or Kylian Mbappé leaves the club.

Agüero’s initial plan was not to consider joining another English club since he didn’t want to face Pep Guardiola’s side. However, he ‘does not close the door at all’, with Leeds United knocking on his door.

The Premier League side are likely to have an advantage over PSG and Juve because they don’t have to wait for exits before planning to bring Agüero to the club.

His priority is to feature regularly next season so that it boosts his chances of playing in the 2022 World Cup with Argentina. 

Therefore, the South American wants to give importance to the sporting project over the economic proposals when deciding his next destination.

Marcelo Bielsa’s stay at Elland Road beyond this season would be of importance for Leeds to have any hope of signing Agüero.
