Sergio Aguero is close to agreeing a move to
Barcelona that would unite him with fellow Argentine superstar

City’s record goalscorer, who has spent a decade at the Etihad, scored a quickfire double in the champions’ 5-0 win over Everton in his final Premier League appearance for the club on Sunday.
The goals took his Premier League tally to 184 -- the most by any player for a single club.
The 32-year-old forward is set to leave the Etihad as a free agent after Saturday’s Champions League final against Chelsea.
“Maybe I reveal a secret,” Guardiola told the BBC. “Maybe he is close to agreeing a deal for the club of my heart — for Barcelona.
“He is going to be playing alongside the best player of all time, Messi.”
If the move goes ahead it would be Aguero’s second spell in Spain — he made his name at Atletico Madrid before the move to Manchester in 2011.
Aguero’s final season at City was dogged by injury and a coronavirus infection but Guardiola believes the striker has a lot to offer the Catalan giants.
