On April 13, the Spanish daily sports newspaper Aguero as the cover, heavy launch "Aguero is expected to join Barcelona" exclusive news. The report pointed out that the Barcelona club has finally made up its mind to join the pursuit of Aguero. Despite the fact that Aguero, who was born in '88, is now 33 years old, why is Barcelona in love with him? It turns out that Aguero's contract with Manchester City will expire in the summer of 2021, when he will be able to move on a free transfer, and Aguero's joining would be a zero-transfer-fee bonanza for any team!
The news comes after it was revealed that Manchester United offered Manchester City veteran Aguero a free transfer contract, only to have it rejected. In response, United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and director of soccer John Murtagh met with Uruguayan striker Cavani, 34, on Tuesday in an attempt to persuade him to extend his contract. It shows that Aguero remains highly attractive. Despite his advanced age, Aguero is willing to consider other options without a transfer fee. Given Barcelona's financial struggles in recent years, a signing waiver would certainly be the best option. Therefore, it seems logical for Barcelona to recruit Aguero. It's worth noting that Barcelona has done a pretty good job of waiving signings this season, having successfully signed Garcia and Wijnaldum, who will both be joining the team next season, both of which were waived by Barcelona, who only had to pay the players' salaries.
According to Spanish newspaper Marca, Aguero himself preferred destination is Barcelona, he is eager to free transfer to Barcelona, and Messi side by side. Messi and Aguero have been close friends for many years and have played alongside each other in the Argentine national team for many years. However, will Aguero definitely join Barcelona? The answer is not necessarily. The key lies in whether Aguero's proposed salary is within Barcelona's affordability. Barcelona is still in huge debt, so for Aguero, the lower the salary, the better. If Aguero's salary is too high, then he may not join Barcelona. Unless both sides can reach an agreement, other teams may also try to attract him with higher salaries, which will surely lead to a fierce battle for him!
In addition, the daily sports newspaper also revealed the news related to Neymar. According to the outlet, the French side has confirmed that Neymar will join Barcelona. Neymar has refused to renew his contract with the big Paris and is hoping that the Barcelona side will make a move so that he can demand a transfer from the big Paris. If all goes well, we can expect to see Messi, Neymar and Aguero joining hands on the Barcelona stage!
