    Barca give details of Sergio Aguero heart arrhythmia

    Barcelona have announced Sergio Aguero will be out for at least three months after he was diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia.

    Aguero felt chest pains in Barcelona’s LaLiga Santander match with Alaves, eventually leaving the field. Tests after the game revealed a cardiac arrhythmia. The Argentine was transferred to hospital for a cardiology examination on Saturday.

    “Barcelona player Kun Aguero has been subjected to a diagnostic and therapeutic process by Dr. Josep Brugada,” Barcelona said in a statement.

    “He is unavailable for selection and, during the next three months, the effectiveness of treatment will be evaluated in order to determine his recovery process.”

    Norberto Debbag, an Argentine cardiologist, did though provide the public with an explanation on what a cardiac arrhythmia means for an athlete.

    “An arrhythmia can be studied within 24 hours, the diagnosis will already be in place,” Debbag explained to Ole.

    “Ventricular ones are the most complicated because there is damage to the structure of the heart, whilst Atrial arrhythmias are more benign, which can be solved with medication.

    “We have no details about Aguero but it won’t take long to find out, just when he will play again will depend on the time of arrhythmia that is detected.”

    Barcelona suffered more injuries during their 1-1 draw with Alaves.

    Sergio Aguero was forced off before half-time, going down appearing to be dizzy and struggling to breath. The Argentine was transferred to the hospital via an ambulance for further treatment.

    The Argentine was making his fifth appearance after missing the start of the season, though he was quiet in attack with Memphis Depay.

    After 68 minutes, Gerard Pique was also forced off as he limped down the tunnel with Clement Lenglet replacing him.

    These two injuries add to those of Frenkie de Jong, Ansu Fati, Martin Braithwaite, Sergi Roberto, Pedri, Ronald Araujo and Ousmane Dembele who were unavailable for selection due to their own injuries.

    On Tuesday, Barcelona face Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League.

  • My Barca move wasn’t tied to Messi – Aguero

    My Barca move wasn’t tied to Messi – Aguero

    Barcelona summer signing Sergio Aguero insists he’s happy with his move from Manchester City.

    There has been a lot of speculation that Lionel Messi’s exit would lead to Aguero following his compatriot out of the club, but the forward dismissed them out of hand.

    “I didn’t understand why that was said,” Aguero told RAC1.

    “Messi hadn’t signed when I signed. An invented clause was spoken about, but there was nothing. Then I got injured.”

    It had been predicted that the Argentine would be out of action until November, but he is recovering ahead of schedule.

    “I’m progressing well and next week I think I’ll work a bit on the pitch,” Aguero said.

    “There’s no timeframe for when I’ll return, but I’m progressing well and it will be shorter than predicted.

    “The last MRI looked good, but it’s best to see how things progress in the coming weeks.”

    Sergio Aguero is surprised by Barcelona’s approach to training.

    The summer signing spoke to Ibai Llanos the Twitch streamer and said something surprising about the club’s training sessions.

    “At (Manchester) City we arrived an hour and a half before training and here half an hour before,” said Aguero. “I said, well, I’ll come in at least an hour before and try and go to the gym or do some things, but nobody was there, it was all shut, dammit.”

    Aguero has not debuted as a Barca player yet because he suffered an injury in pre-season. He is hoping to return in October.

    The forward told Ibai he did not take Leo Messi’s No 10 shirt despite being offered it. He also said, of Messi’s PSG debut: “He was a bit lost on the pitch, but everything he touched he did well with.”

    Aguero wants to kill himself at Barca – Di Maria

    Angel di Maria says Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero is reeling after seeing Lionel Messi leave for PSG.

    The last week has seen Messi’s departure at Barcelona become official before he joined Di Maria at PSG, which leaves Aguero without one of his closest friends and clearly questioning his move to Barcelona.

    “Kun wants to kill himself, what can you do,” Di Maria said with a laugh during an interview with TyC Sports.

    “Apart from all that [Messi leaving Barcelona], the worst thing is that he got injured again and will be out for several weeks.

    “That’s the saddest thing.”

    Aguero instructs lawyers to find Barca contract exit

    Sergio Aguero is already regretting his move to Barcelona, it has been revealed.

    The former Manchester City striker has told his lawyers to find a way out of his contract, according to Beteve’s La Porteria programme, following Lionel Messi’s exit after 21 years with the Catalan giants.

    Aguero made no secret that he joined Barca ahead of several other top-flight European suitors specifically because he wanted to play with his close friend and six-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi.

    Just days before joining Barca, Aguero was delaying signing the deal in order to be absolutely sure his Argentina team-mate was definitely staying.

    Aguero, 33, is said to be incensed that Messi has left after he was promised that the two would play together and that Messi’s contractual issues would be resolved.

    La Porteria reports that Aguero’s “future at Barca does not look good”.

  • Messi, Aguero and I can play in same Barca attack – Depay

    Messi, Aguero and I can play in same Barca attack – Depay

    Memphis Depay is counting on Lionel Messi signing a new contract with Barcelona.

    Speaking with Sport, Memphis made clear he was counting on Messi staying this season.

    He said: “Playing with Messi would be incredible. I hope it is possible. He has qualities that the team needs and it is important that we build something around him. This squad houses a lot of talent.”

    Depay thinks an attacking trio with Messi and Sergio Aguero is a realistic option.

    “There are a lot of attackers in the squad, but in my opinion we are different. I have my qualities and strengths and they differ from, say, Aguero, or any player for that matter. I think all three of us can play together, but let’s see how things go.”

    Memphis also spoke of his relationship with coach Ronald Koeman.

    He stated: “He was very important to me in important years of my career. He made a change at the Dutch national team, counted on me and gave me confidence. And now he counts on me in this adventure. With Koeman it is easier for me to adapt. I know what he expects of me, we’ve been working together for years. But even then I will have to give everything, it will not be easy. Without Koeman it would have been different anyway.”

  • Barca still can’t register Aguero and Depay – Riesco

    Barca still can’t register Aguero and Depay – Riesco

    Former Rayo Vallecano star and now pundit Pedro Riesco has questioned Barcelona’s transfer policy.

    Riesco has expressed his surprise about Joan Laporta’s calm reactions when asked about Lionel Messi’s future and contract renewal with Barcelona.

    The Argentina captain’s contract with Barcelona expired on July 1 and the Blaugrana have yet to announce its potential renewal, mainly due to the club’s financial struggles and their obligation to follow LaLiga’s fair play rules.

    “I am surprised by the calmness with which Laporta talks about Messi, as if Messi were still a Barcelona player,” Riesco told Radio MARCA.

    “For me the most serious thing that is happening to Barcelona is that they can’t register the players they have signed, [Sergio] Aguero, [Memphis] Depay…”

  • We’ll find right player to replace Aguero – Man City chairman

    We’ll find right player to replace Aguero – Man City chairman

    Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has hinted of a big name signing to replace Sergio Aguero this summer.

    Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Erling Haaland, of Borussia Dortmund, are on City’s list of targets after club record goal scorer Aguero joined Barcelona as a free agent.

    “We lose a very important legend in Sergio Aguero,” said Khaldoon. “Very hard shoes to fill, but I’m confident that we will find the right player to fill those shoes.

    “There are other areas within the group that obviously need investment. Not too many, it’s not about numbers, it’s about quality.

    “I think it’s a phenomenal squad. You don’t win the Premier League and reach the Champions League final if you don’t have an incredible squad. We will bring quality into the squad in a couple of key positions.

    “One of the things I’ve learned over the years is you need to constantly bring talent into the team. Refresh. Particularly when you are at a high level, when you are on the top.

    “Having won the league, it is not the time to sit back and be content. That actually would be your biggest mistake.

    “This is the time to send a strong message that there is no contentment, that you are not satisfied with just winning the league.”

  • La Liga giant sign Sergio Aguero on free transfer

    La Liga giant sign Sergio Aguero on free transfer

    FC Barcelona completed the signing of Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero on a free transfer on Monday.

    The 32-year-old striker underwent medical tests in Spain Monday, just two days after his last match for Manchester City ended in a 1-0 UEFA Champions League final defeat to Chelsea.

    “FC Barcelona and Sergio ‘Kun’ Aguero have reached an agreement for the player to join the club from July 1 when his contract with Manchester City expires,” Barca said on Monday.

    “The player will sign a contract until the end of the 2022/2023 season and his buyout clause is set at 100 million euros.”

    The formal presentation was set for later in the day.

    The Argentina international will link up with friend and international team-mate Lionel Messi at Camp Nou on July 1 after his Manchester City contract expires.

    “Everyone at Manchester City will like to take this opportunity to thank Sergio for his incredible contribution to our success over the last decade and wish him well on the remainder of his career,” the English champions said in a statement.

    Aguero spent five years in La Liga with Atletico Madrid until 2011, when he moved to Manchester City for a reported fee of 35 million pounds.

    He scored a club-record 260 goals in 389 appearances in all competitions during a glittering decade in Manchester.

    Aguero famously secured Manchester City’s first English Premier League (EPL) title in 2011/2012 with an injury-time winner against Queens Park Rangers (QPR) on the final day of the season.

    The Argentine won the top-flight title five times in England.

    He also won six League Cups and the FA Cup in 2018/2019 as part of a domestic treble under Pep Guardiola.

    The Spaniard had described the forward as “a special person” who would be irreplaceable for the club.

    Aguero scored twice on his final league appearance for Manchester City in the 5-0 win over Everton this month.

    The goals took him to 184 in the Premier League — fourth in the all-time charts.

    It also helped to break Wayne Rooney’s record for the most goals scored in the competition for a single club.
