Mercato: Guardiola announces that Agüero will join Barça to play with Messi

This is called selling the wick.

Asked by the BBC after Manchester City's last Premier League match of the season, Citizens coach Pep Guardiola said Argentina striker Sergio Agüero would leave the English club at the end of the season to return to La Liga and go wear the FC Barcelona jersey.

“Maybe I'll reveal a secret.

He may be close to reaching an agreement with the club of my heart, Barça, explained the Spanish coach, once again crowned champion of England.

He will play alongside the best player of all time, Lionel Messi.

And I'm pretty sure he's going to love it and make my club, Barcelona, ​​stronger and stronger.

Beyond the announcement of what appears to be the 32-year-old Argentinian's next destination, has Pep Guardiola also dropped a clue about Lionel Messi's future?

At the end of his contract with Barça, the six-fold Golden Ball has not yet extended his lease after publicly expressing the desire to leave last summer.

If the Pulga has changed its mind since the return of Joan Laporta to the presidency of the club, his relatives are pushing him to leave Catalonia to, according to our information, join PSG.

Most prolific player with his club in the Premier League

Will the arrival of Sergio Agüero, a close friend of Lionel Messi, weigh in the balance?

The center forward, at the end of his contract with Manchester City, had a rotten season with injuries and a Covid-19 infection.

Entered into play against Everton for his last Premier League match with the Citizens, the Argentinian scored a brace.

With these achievements, he brings the number of goals scored for the club to 260, including 184 in the league, making him the most prolific player in the Premier League with one club, ahead of Wayne Rooney with Manchester United.

“It was my last game but I'm happy.

I have to thank my teammates who helped me a lot.

I'm a striker, my goal is to score goals, and to score twice for my last match, it's fantastic, ”he said at the microphone of Sky Sports.

With City, Agüero has been champion five times, won six League Cups, one FA Cup and three Community Shields. He can add a Champions League if his club wins in the final against Chelsea on Saturday.
