Sergio Aguero recently stunned Manchester City

Sergio Aguero recently stunned Manchester City by claiming that he wants to leave the club at the end of his contract.

The striker’s existing deal runs out in the summer of 2018 and he has expressed his desire to return to Argentina. This comes as a major shock since City were expected to offer him a new long-term contract.

The former Atletico Madrid forward is regarded as the best in the world. His presence has been the single defining factor in City winning the league titles until now. Even though Aguero has come out with an open statement about his desire to leave, supposedly whilst out on a UK yacht charter, but City still believe that they can tie him to a long-term contract.

Even though it would mean keeping the player beyond his 30th birthday, City do not seem worried about this aspect. They have seen player like Yaya Touré start performing even after they hit their 30s. Aguero has been a great professional for the Manchester outfit even though the same cannot be said of his injury record. Aguero’s current contract ends after the World Cup 2018. The striker’s comments were made to a radio station, but City believe that the words were taken out of context.

Aguero came to the club in 2011 for a then transfer record fee of £ 38 million.“It’s clear to me that when my contract ends, after the World Cup [Russia 2018], I’m going to Independiente,” said the striker. After starting his career withIndependiente in 2003, Aguero went on to join Spanish outfit Atletico in 2006. He spent five years in Spain before joining City as a young and budding striker with a lot of promise. He has now transformed into one of the lethal forwards in the world. Aguero has scored 126 goals in 191 appearances for City.

Sergio Aguero: ‘’ Messi joining Manchester City is extremely difficult’’

Lionel Messi is easily the most coveted player in the world of football, every club around Europe and the world would like to sign the Argentine attacker who continues dominating every pitch, every game he enters.

The problem with signing Messi is that he has an extremely close relationship with Barcelona. It was thanks to Barcelona that Messi is the player and the man that he is today. His relationship with the Spanish club goes far beyond the pitch.

On numerous occasions, the Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu as well as Luis Enrique have been asked what would be the price tag of Lionel Messi and their response has always been: ‘’Priceless’’. You simply can’t put a price tag on a player who has broken all records imaginable, someone who has outclassed every other player in the sport even Cristiano Ronaldo.

Even though Barcelona does not have any intention of selling him, not now and possibly not ever, this hasn’t stopped rumors from emerging claiming that there are possible clubs where the Argentine attacker could go if he ever decides to leave Barcelona and one of the possible football destinations if Manchester City.

No price is too high for Manchester City, the Premier League club is one of the biggest spenders in football who are ready to dish out a large sum of money for their targets and Lionel Messi could reunite with his national teammate Sergio Aguero.

When Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero was asked about the possibility of seeing Lionel Messi joining Manchester City, the star of City said: “It’s very difficult for Leo to leave Barcelona because he’s played there since he was very young and it’s not easy for him to think about another team, so no. Hopefully he can be here at City obviously, but of course it’s always the player’s decision and I think he’s very comfortable and very calm in Barcelona.”

Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi have a very healthy relationship as both are the main stars of the Argentina national football team and fans of the national team would like to see both of them playing at club level but it’s something that might not happen ever.

Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that star striker Sergio Aguero will be unavailable

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that star striker Sergio Aguero will be unavailable for the match against Bournemouth.

This would represent an opportunity for the likes of Wilfried Bony to step up to the plate. The Ivory Coast international has been starved of first-team opportunities since joining City in a £ 30 million deal last January. It has been partly because of the impeccable form shown by Aguero, who only recently scored five goals in a game. However, injury crisis has once again hit the striker after he was stretchered off during the recent international break.

This injury is likely to keep him out for a couple of weeks. This will not be a problem for Pellegrini against Bournemouth, but it could come to bite him for the upcoming game against archrivals Manchester United. Both Manchester clubs are once again fighting for a position at the top of the table. This clash could be very crucial in determining the outcome of the fight. City will want to be at full strength for this match at Old Trafford. Apart from domestic responsibilities, Pellegrini will also have to put together a team for the Champions League with Sevilla the next opponents for the Premier League outfit.

“Agüero has a muscle injury and I don’t think he will be back inside a month, and Silva came back from international duty with a kick on the ankle. Like Aleksandar Kolarov, he could be out for two weeks. Bournemouth have had two week to prepare for this game, and they have the advantage of working with their whole squad over that period. Wilfried has been unlucky since he joined the club, we know he is a very good striker but he has not been able to show it,” said Pellegrini about the upcoming game against Bournemouth.

Sergio Aguero has turned into a summer target for Real Madrid

Sergio Aguero has consistently been one of the best players of the Premier League ever since he joined the English league on July of 2011 as he was signed by Manchester City for a transfer fee of €45 million. In first season with City, Aguero scored 23 league goals and in this season which concluded a few weeks ago, the Argentinean attacker registered 26 goals for his club.

It’s evident that Aguero has turned into one of the main stars of Manchester City since arriving to the Etihad Stadium.

The performances of Sergio Aguero have not gone unnoticed as he is being linked with a move to Real Madrid.

Ever since Rafael Benitez took charge of Real Madrid, rumors started blowing up the web as they linked Aguero with a move to the Spanish club but the 27 year old player has stated on numerous occasions that he is happy playing for Manchester City and even though this past season was a very disappointing one for the Premier League club as they failed to win any trophies, Sergio Aguero still wants to continue being a player of Manchester City and has no intention of leaving anytime soon.

Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero told reporters: “The only reason a player should leave a club is to achieve things, and I can achieve all I want to at City. I can’t stop rumors. I can’t stop people writing things. But what I can do is repeat what I have already said, and that is that I’m very happy at Manchester City.’’

Real Madrid is a team which is known for their cash spending and if Sergio Aguero truly is one of their summer targets, then a big offer is expected to be made and even though Aguero doesn’t have any desire to leave Manchester City, if the right offer comes along it might be enough for Real Madrid to lure Aguero to the Santiago Bernabeu.

KarimBenzema plus a cash offer might be enough to tempt Manchester City in giving away Sergio Aguero.

Sergio Aguero is still in Race for Golden Boot

Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero continues to be in the race for the Premier league Golden Boot award at the end of the campaign, but he will be helped out by the arrival of Wilfried Bony from Swansea City.

The Ivory Coast international arrives at Etihad stadium for a transfer fee of £ 28 million. After having established himself as one of the top goal scorers in the Premier league, Bony will be a valuable addition to the squad according to Aguero.

The Argentine has suffered a couple of niggling injuries this season. It has prevented him from scoring goals on a consistent basis.

He is level with Diego Costa while Bony is close to getting into double figures. The former Vitesse Arnhem player has not yet scored for City, but he has also not been playing for them since making the move due to his involvement at the Africa Cup of Nations. After having just returned from Africa as the champion with Ivory Coast, Bony will be looking to carry over his form to his new club as well.

Aguero recently returned to form by scoring two goals against Stoke. This ended his five-game run without a goal.

It appears that Aguero takes a few games before getting up to full speed after being out with an injury.

“We were very unfortunate to have so many injured strikers simultaneously.The boys handled it very well, though. It’s not easy to play in someone else’s position, but that said, I thought they were quite effective and we initially continued our winning run.Now we are back to full strength and we have also added to our squad.I think Wilfried Bony is a valuable addition to bolster our ranks for the final months of the season,” said Aguero, who also has Edin Dzeko to partner.

Sergio Aguero returns from Knee Injury

Sergio Aguero returned from his knee injury and played for 25 minutes during Manchester City’s Premier League match against Everton but his inclusion in the match made no difference as the match ended with a 1-1 draw.

The Argentine player didn’t make a significantly big impact in a game that Manchester City wanted and needed to win in order to keep their pressure on Chelsea who are currently leading the way in the Premier League.

Manuel Pellegrini wasn’t particularly to see his team draw when playing off with Everton as it was Manchester City who enjoyed having more shots launched against the net of their opponents with a total of 18 shots being fired but only 2 of them were actually on target.

The Chilean manager is well aware of the problems that his team has been facing especially during the absence of Sergio Aguero who has been recovering from a knee injury and has been out of action for a month and played for 25 minutes during this match which wasn’t enough for him to make a substantial impact in the pitch.

“Look, we finished very bad. That is why he has signed Wilfried Bony for £28million, even though he may not return from Africa Cup of Nations duty until mid-February if Ivory Coast reach the final’’ Manuel Pellegrini said.

When the Argentine entered the pitch in the 2nd half, he looked a bit rusty but he is expected to be back in full force within a few days as Manchester City will be facing off with Arsenal on January 18 in a match that the team of Manuel Pellegrini cannot afford to lose if they want to stay toe to toe with the table-toppers Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti cant replace Angel Di Maria

The Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti does not think that James Rodriguez is a like-for-like replacement for Angel Di Maria.

According to the Italian, Di Maria was extremely energetic and he had the ability to make things happen.

However, at the same time, Ancelotti also admitted that the Argentina international used to fail to control his aggression.

When asked if he thinks Rodriguez is the perfect player to fill in the shoes of Di Maria, Ancelotti said, “No, I don’t think so. They don’t play in the similar fashion. So, they can never be ideal replacements for each other.”

“As far as Di Maria is concerned, I think he had tremendous amount of energy, but, yes, he did have the tendency to get wayward at times.”

When asked how it feels to get to the top of the La Liga table despite not having the best start possible to the summer, the 55-year old said, “I am glad with the comeback. We had not started the ideal way as you said, but, this set of players that I am presently working with here at Madrid; they are very, very professional. They know what the team needs from them. They are never shy of taking responsibility and it makes my job easier.”

“There has not been a single instance of me having a clash with anybody in the squad. I just don’t need to be harsh. They all do their job with full dedication and that is what a manager asks for.”

Los Blancos are 2 points clear at the top of the Liga table after 11 games. They have a much higher goal differential as well in comparison to the second positioned Barcelona.
The defending champion Atletico Madrid is at no. 4.

Eto’o Thanks Mourinho Despite Bad Relationship

Samuel Eto’o and Jose Mourinho appeared to have a rather unhealthy player-manager relationship when they both worked together in Stamford Bridge. In the last season of the Premier League, Mourinho released a series of statements concerning some of his players and one of them was the Cameroonian forward Samuel Eto’o.

During the previous campaign Mourinho stated that his forwards just weren’t good enough for Chelsea to make a genuine charge at the top of the Premier League and he was making reference to the disastrous seasons that Demba Ba, Samuel Eto’o and Fernando Torres were going through.

Demba Ba scored league 7 goals in 33 appearances for Chelsea while Eto’o scored 9 goals in 21 matches and these stats aren’t that impressive for a club that was competing against Manchester City and Liverpool for the top spots of the Premier League. This is why Diego Costa was signed from Athletic Madrid as he is the player that can solve their striker crisis.

Even with the bad relationship that Samuel Eto’o had with Mourinho, the Cameroonian attacker has thanked his former coach as the Portuguese manager helped Eto’o in signing with his new club, Everton.
He said: “The only thing I have to say about Jose Mourinho is to thank him. It’s down to him that I had the opportunity to be accepted and integrated into the Premier League and I want to thank him for that. I’m not particularly concerned that it’s against my next team on Saturday. The important thing is to integrate into my new team-mates’ way of playing and get ready for that match. If I don’t feature it’s just important to get ready’’
Eto’o signed a 2 year deal with Everton as the Premier League club wants to partner up Eto’o with Romelu Lukaku and turn them into the main attacking figures of the squad

Aguero Suffers Another Injury

After spending a large part of the recently finished Barclays Premier League season on bench due to injury, Sergio Aguero suffered another fitness problem while featuring for his national side Argentina in a World Cup group game against Nigeria yesterday. He pulled his hamstring muscles just a few minutes before the half time break and had to be taken off the ground by the physiotherapist.

Later on, Aguero was seen beside his manager Alejandro Sabella in the Argentina dugout. There was heavy strapping on one of his thighs at that time which is not encouraging news at all for his fans.

At the end of the match, when Sabella was asked about Aguero’s fitness, he said, “There is a problem in his muscles. We would assess that in a day or two and then, would make a final call.”

The hamstring problems generally take a few weeks to heal and the way Aguero walked off the pitch, his problem didn’t seem to be minor. He was looking in a lot of discomfort and then he was seen being strapped on the thigh and that too quite heavily. So, one should not be that surprised if the Manchester City player doesn’t take any further part in the ongoing World Cup at all.

It’s the same hamstring problem which had kept Aguero out of a lot of Premier League matches last season. He couldn’t take part in 15 of the Manchester City league matches.
But, in the matches that he played, he created big impact. He found the net 17 times in 23 appearances for City and played a key role in guiding them to the crown for the second time in three seasons.

The kind of form Aguero was in, if he had played all the league matches for City last season, he could well have ended as the leading goal scorer in the tournament.

Aguero Proves Again How Strong He Is

Sergio Aguero has proven time over time why he is considered to be one of the best forwards in Europe as he helped Manchester City on securing the league title as the Argentinean attacker scored over 20 goals.

Lionel Messi has even been reported to tell his countryman Sergio Aguero to join him at Barcelona at Camp Nou as Messi wants to further improve the Catalan club by adding some of the best players around the world.

The Manchester City attacker made considerably less appearances for the Premier League club after going through a season which was filled with a number of injuries that forced him to be out of action for a significant period of time.
When Aguero was asked about his condition, the 25 years old player replied by stating that he is fit and waiting for the 2014 World Cup.

“Yes, I am fully fit now. I played the last match for my club since I was eager to help the team win the Premier League title again and now I am waiting for the World Cup. It will be a great occasion to play the biggest tournament in Brazil.” Aguero said.

Aguero continued on by expressing his thoughts concerning the upcoming World Cup as the Argentinean forward praised Lionel Messi who he still considers to be the player around the globe.

“We have Lionel Messi, the best footballer on earth, in our side. He led us to the top of the list in qualifiers from the most difficult zone in the Conmebol with matches to spare. We have an excellent forward line with Ezequiel Lavezzi and I will try to score more and we have wonderful midfielders to support us. We have the talent and ability to beat any side on a given day.” Aguero added on.
