While the soccer world is still in shock after Barcelona announced Lionel Messi won’t continue at the club, fans on social media switched their attention to one of the Cules’ recent signings, Sergio Kun Aguero. The Argentine striker was basically brought in to convince Messi to stay given their close friendship.
However, La Liga took a toll on their plans and there won’t be a Messi-Aguero reunion at the Camp Nou, which plenty of fans were looking forward to. Instead, the former Manchester City star will now have to fill in the shoes of his best pal instead of making a great duo with him.
All the headlines will be about Messi and his future, but social media has seen millions of users who set their eyes on the veteran Argentine forward as his intentions of teaming up with his best friend were struck.
Fans react to Messi leaving Barcelona and Kun Aguero
It was no secret that Lionel Messi was close to leaving Barcelona a year ago, but had to stay as his contract didn’t allow him to becomea free agent. With the pending year of the deal already in the past, the Spanish club was hoping to tie him to a new contract by now.
Just when it seemed like they were about to reach an agreement, La Liga regulations prevented the move from happening. Sergio Kun Aguero, who arrived at Barca mainly to get Messi to renew, was a hot topic on the Internet as fans reacted to this situation.
Messi’s exit from Barcelona was not only a huge blow for fans, but also for Kun Aguero, who seemed extremely excited to play alongside him just like at the international level with the Argentina national team. Unfortunately, Kun will have to make a name for himself at Barca on his own.
