Atletico Madrid forward Sergio Aguero is keen to
join Argentina team-mate Lionel Messi at
Barcelona.
The 21-year-old insists he would not leave the Vicente
Calderon for local rivals Real Madrid, but has encouraged Messi to
convince the Barca board of his credentials.
Aguero, who picked up a muscle tear during the first half of the
1-0 win over Colombia in Saturday's World Cup qualifier, told the
Paso a Paso show on TyC Sports cable channel: "I hope Messi can
take me to Barca.
"I would not betray Atletico because they have always treated me
very well. If I go to Real Madrid, I would disrespect Atletico.
"I hope Messi takes me to Barcelona, but it is a matter of
waiting to see what the board will decide."
