Now that it seems Neymar will prefer a move to Real Madrid and Radamel Falcao has signed a new deal at Porto, will Chelsea be tempted to go back in for Sergio Aguero, who was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in 2009?

It has been suggested that Andre Villas-Boas may want to bring in a new striker as the futures of Didier Drogba, 33, and Nicolas Anelka, 32, futures remaining uncertain, with neither representing a long-term option.

Is Aguero the best forward available? It would seem that he wants out of Atletico Madrid and has dropped the biggest hint yet that he wants to leave the club this summer.

The 23-year-old told Argentinean radio station Radio De La Red:

“I have made clear in my statement that I do not see myself at Atletico.

“I will seek the best for me, I know that my representatives are working and for now I don’t want to think about it. I will do something after the Copa America, when I am able to think calmly.

“If I said I saw myself at Atletico, I’d be lying. I’d prefer to play in Spain or England; those are the two best countries.”

“Atletico has been my place of work in Spain. I have given everything for the shirt and I have had a lot of fun but as far as my future is concerned, don’t bet on anything.”

Both Real Madrid and Manchester City are also keen on the forward, who has a £38m release clause in his contract, but the fee isn’t the issue in terms of us signing him, it’s his wage hefty wage demands and he may have to revise those.

Aguero enjoyed one of his best seasons in 2010-11 and scored 27 goals, with six assists to his name. He is currently on international duty with Argentina in the Copa America, with three goals in the tournament so far and he’ll be back in action against Uruguay in the quarter-finals tomorrow at 23:15 (BST).

Should Chelsea compete alongside the likes of Manchester City and Real for Aguero’s signature?

    what we need is a left footed player somebody like Di maria,sanchez,ozil,turan with another striker like that falcao,lukaku,sturidge and not aguero pls Roman and AvB.

  2. Alex says:

    we should defiantly sign aguero as he would be the perfect partner for torres and was perfect when they were both at atletico and were deadly. he’s skilfull, fast and scores goals and can fit into the 4-3-3 formation. if not aguero then i agree with abriam where if we dont get aguero then we should go for pato he would be brilliant i dont know why we arnt being linked with him.

    AVB we need Aguero in our team,he is young and got talent,he can play from the wing supporting Torres in the front,i also want 2 suggest that we need a left winger and a attacking midfielder like Modric and pastore in our team if we realy want to win the champions league.

    pls lets sign turan or di maria to replace the worn out malouda,pastore or modric for lamps,chiote for essien,van de wiel for bosingwa and lukaku or aguero for anelka and drogba

    Bastard Maradona teaching ol shit tactic to demand more wages ..otherwise Aguero wud have been with us long back neways YES we really need him but i doubt if he ‘ll be with us since Man City is also chasing em nd they can full fill his demands, WTF!! i cant see any good strikers who can pair with Torres!!
    If we lose Aguero than its real we are not winning any thing next year

    u guyz shud relax. do u thnk chelsea has a plan to win epl next season? big nope….i dont see any reason why we havent sell d likes of anelka,malouda,fereira. As far as am consign we dont need neymar,he price on him 2 much and he lack exprience. Aguero will be perfect along side torres and sturridge or drogba….D midfield needs serious attention, ramires is d only midfielder we av got,josh shud b give more play time.We much buy atleast one midfielder if not two…Lampard nd essien has nottng 2 offer next season…We must buy a centre back,alex is injury prone.van hault,josh and sturridge shud b given more play time.
