Terry slams claims he stopped Aguero moving to Chelsea

The former Blues defender has rubbished reports he played a role in blocking the Argentine striker's move to Stamford Bridge

John Terry has shut down claims he may have played a role in stopping Sergio Aguero from joining Chelsea nearly a decade ago.

According to The Athletic, the Blues were keen to sign the striker while he was still at Atletico Madrid and even made a £30 million (€35m/$38m) offer for the Argentine in early 2010.

The La Liga club wanted more however and the report suggested that Terry could have put Chelsea off pursuing a move any further after not being impressed by what he saw of Aguero when the two clubs played each other in the Champions League group stages.
