Why are we still linked with this player?

There have been a few stories around lately saying that Chelsea are being made to wait on £45m-rated Atletico Madrid forward Sergio Aguero, who won’t make a decision over his future until after the Copa America next month.

But why are we still perennially linked with this player?

Once upon a time, the Argentine forward was on Chelsea’s radar and we were apparently close to signing him but for his high wage demands back in 2009. Aguero wanted around £220,000-a-week to join Chelsea and the Blues didn’t fancy that at all, so the deal was dead.

Aguero is now heavily linked to Real Madrid and even they are raising their eyebrows over his wages, as reported in Spanish publication AS. So, as Aguero is still a greedy little bastard, I doubt anything has changed significantly for Chelsea to try and sign the player again. He’ll probably leave Atletico this summer, but I highly doubt he’ll be packing his bags for a move to west London.
