Pep Guardiola confirmed the worst-kept ‘secret’ that Sergio Aguero is ‘close to agreeing a deal’ to Barcelona. The 32-year-old has spent 10 years at Manchester City since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2011, but he’s out of contract this summer and didn’t have his deal renewed.
Barcelona have shown a lot interest in Aguero as they need to bolster their attack without spending a premium in the transfer market due to their spiralling financial situation. Aguero was keen for the switch and now Guardiola has revealed the move is almost complete.
