    Heart Problem: Sergio Aguero advised to force retirement from football

    Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero has been warned he may have to hang up the boots.

    The 33-year-old Argentina international is struggling with heart problems and is expected to be sidelined for at least the next three months.

    Howvever, Cataluyna Radio reports a recent test is said to have indicated that the condition Aguero is battling will no longer make it possible for him to play professional football.

    Aguero was forced from the pitch a fortnight ago in the home game against Deportivo Alavés (1-1) and he was later diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia.

    The tests will continue, but there is pessimism about Aguero’s future as a footballer. Doctors from the Argentine Football Association have already paid him a visit to investigate his heart problems.

    I joined Barca knowing they weren’t doing well financially – Aguero

    Sergio Aguero says he joined Barcelona knowing he’d be taking a major cut on his Manchester City wages.

    The striker says he signed for Barca aware of the club’s financial problems.

    He told RAC1: “When we spoke money with Barca, I knew they weren’t doing well financially, but I told my agent the money didn’t matter, I wanted to go to Barcelona, sort it out.

    “It wasn’t a problem. It was obvious I wasn’t going to earn what I earned at City here.”

    Aguero added: “I won’t mark down numbers, but what I want is to win trophies. It’s the only thing that interests me. This is a team, we need everyone. If I score, hopefully it earns three points or gets us into the next round. I want to reach the end of the season and win trophies, not say I have scored 15 or 30 goals. That’s what’s important.”

    La Liga: Sergio Aguero out for 10 weeks

    Barcelona have revealed that Sergio Aguero is set to be missing for “around 10 weeks” after suffering a calf injury that will delay his start to life at Camp Nou.

    The Argentina international only linked up with the Blaugrana at the start of the summer having become a free agent at the end of his contract with Manchester City.

    He is yet to be officially registered amid financial struggles in Catalunya, has seen fellow countryman Lionel Messi depart Camp Nou in emotional circumstances and must now wait on a competitive debut for his new club after picking up an untimely knock.

    Barcelona said in a statement on the club’s official website: “Tests carried out on first-team player Kun Aguero have confirmed a right calf injury.

    “He will be out for around 10 weeks.”

    The deal is for two-years and Aguero has now informed friends and family that he will be playing for Barca next season.

    Juve table pre-contract offer for Sergio Aguero

    Juventus have tabled a pre-contract offer to Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero.

    It’s been announced Aguero and City will part ways this summer as his deal expires in June. As such, Aguero is free to negotiate pre-contract terms with any foreign club.

    Sport says while Barcelona are keen, Juve have jumped ahead in the battle for Aguero’s signature.

    The Bianconeri have tabled a two-year pre-contract offer to Aguero, which is for less than what he currently earns with City.

    However, given Italy’s favourable tax conditions for footballers, the deal still remains attractive for the Argentine.

    Sergio Aguero to leave Man City at end of season

    Record goalscorer Sergio Aguero will leave Manchester City at the end of the season, the club has announced.

    The 32-year-old striker’s contract expires at the end of the season and he has been told it will not be renewed.

    The Argentine, who signed from Atletico Madrid in 2011, has scored 257 goals in 384 appearances for the club.

    “With the guidance of the owners and the contributions of many players, we earned a place among the greatest of the world,” Aguero said.

    He will be honoured by a statue at Etihad Stadium, alongside Vincent Kompany and David Silva, who left the club in 2019 and 2020 respectively.

    Aguero has played a leading role in City’s renaissance in recent years, famously scoring the injury-time winner against QPR in 2012 which clinched the club’s first English title in 44 years.

    Since then, he has helped City win three more Premier League titles, one FA Cup and five League Cups.

    “Sergio’s contribution to Manchester City over the last 10 years cannot be overstated,” City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said.

    “His legend will be indelibly etched into the memories of everyone who loves the club and maybe even in those who simply love football.”

    Aguero will miss first two months of Premier League season games – Guardiola

    Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero could miss the first two months of the 2020/2021 English Premier League (EPL) season, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday.

    Guardiola said this was because Aguero was yet to train with the club since suffering a knee injury in June.

    The Argentine was sidelined for the last 12 matches of Manchester City’s 2019/2020 campaign, including their two UEFA Champions League fixtures in August.

    Guardiola said the 32-year-old may not be fit until November.

    “We knew the injury was difficult,” Guardiola said.

    “He still hasn’t had one training session with us and Sergio is not a guy who regains his physical condition quickly.

    “He has been out for a long time. So, maybe in one or two months he will be ready.”
