First Messi, now AGUERO!? Furious striker 'tells his lawyers to find a way out of his contract'

Sergio Aguero is seeking a shock exit from Barcelona just two months after joining after Lionel Messi's departure.

The former Manchester City striker has reportedly told his lawyers to find a way out of his contract, according to Beteve's 'La Porteria' programme, following his Argentine compatriot's exit after 21 years with the Catalan giants.

Aguero made no secret that he joined Barca ahead of several other top-flight European suitors specifically because he wanted to play with his close friend and six-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi.
