Aguero’s agent, Jose Segui, has claimed that a
leading English side is interested in signing the
striker. Although the agent hasn’t revealed which team it is, he
has mentioned that it isn’t Chelsea, which has led to speculation
that Manchester United are the club involved.
Speaking to the media, Segui claimed: “I have had interest from
a leading English team and they have asked me to approach Atletico
with a bid. I cannot say more until I have spoken to the club about
the offer. All I can tell you is that it is one of the best teams
in Europe and it's not Chelsea.”
The Atletico youngster is reportedly valued at around £35
million, however should United sell Cristiano Ronaldo to Real
Madrid, it is a price tag they could easily afford.
Aguero is one of the hottest young properties in Europe, he
scored 19 goals in La Liga last season to finish third in the top
scorer’s chart behind Dani Guiza and Luis Fabiano whilst outscoring
the likes of Raul, David Villa, Eto’s and van Nistelrooy.
Atletico enjoyed a successful season in La Liga, finishing
fourth which has earnt them a spot in next season’s Champions
League. Whilst they would be loathe to sell Aguero, a large offer
may just prove too tempting to resist.
Should Aguero move to Manchester he would be able to link up
with compatriot Carlos Tevez, which may prove an attractive
proposition for the youngster.
Manchester United, meanwhile, have been linked with a move for a
striker all summer. Recent reports suggest they have made a bid for
Tottenham’s Dimitar Berbatov, whilst they have also been linked
with a move for Ajax’s Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
