Sergio Aguero closing in on Barcelona move and is 'expected' to sign two-year deal in summer

Sergio Aguero is reportedly close to agreeing a two-year contract which would see him join Barcelona when his current deal with Manchester City expires at the end of the season.

The 32-year-old Argentinean forward scored his first league goal of the season as City beat Fulham 3-0 on Saturday.

But he has suffered a frustrating few months after battling with injury problems and off-pitch issues.

And it is looking increasingly likely that his ten-year spell at the Etihad will finish at the end of the campaign.

According to Spanish outlet Diario AS, new Barcelona president Joan Laporta has moved quickly to get in contact with Aguero.

And he, along with City defender Eric Garcia, looks set to make a move to Catalonia in the near future.

The signing of Aguero would also be a popular move with Lionel Messi, who is known to be close with his fellow Argentinean.

If Aguero does leave he will be remembered as a City legend and arguably their greatest ever player.

He has helped the side win four Premier League titles, an FA Cup and five League Cups, and has become their all-time leading scorer with 257 goals in all competitions.

Aguero has been cagey when asked about his future in recent weeks, but has not ruled out leaving City in June.

On his official Twitch channel he recently said: “They are all writing Barca, Barca, Barca.

“Let's hold on a little, have a look. Stop. We are still with City.”

His manager Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, said: "Maybe I will think about it when the international break starts and I have more time.

“As a human and as a person – even as a player of course [I’d like him to stay]. But we have to see what happens at the end of the season.

“We cannot forget how long he was out. He has started getting better.

"I know he needs minutes to get to his best condition but we are not [able] to give him minutes [purely] for minutes because it is an important part of the season.

“We have to be calm, the club will speak to his agent to know the situation and we are going to talk at the end of the season. It’s the same with Fernandinho.”
