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?
he is a great lad..i wil want the manager to look into this guy and bid for him…aguero is a great striker and he can form partnership with torres..so that our foward wil be great and free..chelsea for life
i realy think chelsea should go for him(Aguero),cause wat Torres needs now is an asisting attacker so him and torres will be a good match
Or Pato.
i still don’t undestand what AVB is waiting for,other teams are making new signings and geting understing between themself.he should not make thesame mistake aceloti made thinking d squard is ok cus we really need alot of players.since falcou has sign an extention at porto,agouro should com in.
he cant look for the wages he did last time thats for sure good player tough he’s a match winner like neymar would be,imagen we got them both with torres al 3 are match spinners plus we’d need someone like sanchez that would be barca esque front players and we’re a rock at the back anyway.
Well AVB needs sometime to study the team. I agree with you, he has to sign some players and he needs to bring in a right back, a striker, two wingers. Names like Aguero, Van wiel, Angel di maria and Luka modric and Cheikh Tiote and another winger. He should not start the season thinking the players are good enough. THEY ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. the likes of Kalou, Yuri Zirkhov, Anelka,Ferrerai,Bosingwa should be let go. He should try and play David Luiz in the midfield.
“I’d prefer to play in Spain or England”
Perfect, seeing as you already play for a spanish club!
we neet aguero than any other thing at chelsea pls get this player
AVB don’t make dis same mistakes dat acelotti maked wen he was in charge……..
Chelsea should get Aguero imedately befor any other club get him pls
Aguero is a great stiker dat deliver wen in need of goal…….cfc should get him!
aguero should have been our no1 target from the start , he would be to us what rooney is to united , hope my fave player joins my fave club ! would be a dream come true , hope avb & rom can make this happen ! blues 4 life !
