Transfer News: Pep Guardiola says Barcelona move is ‘close’ for Sergio Aguero amid Tottenham links
Speaking on Match of the Day (h/t Sky Sports), Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola dropped a major hint that Sergio Aguero, who has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur recently, is close to joining Barcelona.
Earlier this month, Spurs were one of the clubs touted to be in contention for the Argentine. But those links are going cold every passing day.
The 32-year-old will leave Manchester City as a free agent once this season concludes as his contract is expiring. And Guardiola’s comments have all but confirmed that Aguero will don the Barcelona jersey next season.
“Maybe I reveal a secret. 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.
Aguero is Barca-bound
The club’s focus should now shift to keeping their best players such as Son Heung-min and Kane. The squad is brimming with talent and apart from the number 9 position, there seems to be ample depth everywhere.
