Massimo Moratti has given Jose Mourinho a blank cheque
book for the summer transfer window, which the coach will use to
spend €30 million on Atletico Madrid hitman Sergio
Agüero.
The former Chelsea coach had his eyes set on Manchester United's
Carlos Tevez before Sir Alex Ferguson offered the former West Ham
man a new deal. Mourinho has now turned his head towards Agüero and
Sportmediaset.it claims that he is ready to offer the
Spanish giants €30m plus two players in return for the striker.
Didier Drogba has been closely linked with the Nerazzurri, but
Agüero's age and prowess compared to the Ivorian's will represent
more value for money, given that 'Drogs' is 31 and Agüero is stil
only 20.
In addition, the Nerazzurri need a world-class striker to
partner Zlatan Ibrahimovic up front and the Argentinean is,
perhaps, the best match in terms of tactics. Mario Balotelli and
Adriano have been unreliable and the 'Special One' doesn't want any
further problems next season.
Convincing the Colchoneros to sell will be tough, of course.
However, Mourinho is undeterred and has a cunning plan up his
sleeve. The coach will insert Nicolas Burdisso and Luis Jimenez as
part of the deal, as both players are wanted by the Rojiblancos.
This will work for 'Mou', as he will also be trimming down his
squad.
