Fan View: Africans compare Aguero’s age to Suarez after Barcelona transfer

The 32-year-old’s switch from Etihad Stadium to Camp Nou has generated a wide range of reactions across Africa

Reactions to Sergio Aguero’s move from Manchester City to Barcelona have been mixed.

After 10 years with the English side, the Argentina international has crossed carpet to Spain where he will play with the Blaugrana for the next two years.

The move, announced by Barcelona on Monday, comes only two days after he featured for City in their 1-0 loss to Chelsea in the Champions League final.
