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.”
