Sergio Aguero‘s successful spell withManchester City will come to an end this summerwhen his deal with the Citizens expires. The 32-year-oldis still considered a world-class striker that can provide goals and talentfor any team, and is one of the big names on the market for next season.
The Argentine struggled since soccer returned after the lockdowndue to injuries that sidelined him for several games. However, as the top player he is, ‘El Kun’ still has a lot to offer and would be a huge signing for any team in the upcoming transfer window.
Landing a striker like Aguero without paying a transfer fee doesn’t happen every day so he will probably be the most interesting free agent available. After today was announced that he won’t be signing a new contract with City, there are alreadymany candidates looking forwardto bringing him in.
European giants interested in ‘El Kun’
Aguero has always been a target for many powerful teams in Europe, but no one could take him out of Manchester City, where he enjoyed first-team playing, received a lucrative salary, and conquered many trophiesas well.
Now that the possibility of signing him really exists, and even without having to handlarge sums of money to another team, a fierce race to acquirehim will probably take place. According to multiple reports,Barcelona, Juventus, and PSG areinterested in Aguero.
Will Aguero be reunited with his friend Messi in Barcelona? (Getty).
The rumors that linked the Argentine with Barcelona began a long time ago, even before his contract was reaching its final months. His friendship with Barca’s idolLionel Messi has beenalways a reason why this move seemed to be possible, and sincethe captain’s future becameuncertain, it was reported that Barcelona’s board would like to bring Aguero to attract Messi to stay.
Juventus and PSG, on the other hand, could also be possible destinations for ‘El Kun’. The Italian team wants to make changes after an earlyChampions League exit this season, followingseveral years of failing to claim this prize. Paulo Dybala, Aguero’s compatriot, would be transfer listed, opening space for a talented option in attack.
Meanwhile, it is rumored that Paris Saint Germain may try to let another Argentine go too. The French side may release Mauro Icardi and Aguero could be considered to replace him. After all, ‘El Kun’ hadsuccessful yearsin Europe and still has some years of top performancesto offer.
What if Aguero choosesto move tothe MLS?

Despite Sergio Aguero has always been a top figure in European’s elite level, it can’t be denied that he’s getting to the finalstages of his career. That doesn’t mean that he can’t perform at the top right now, but ‘El Kun’ will probably be tempted with other offers thinking on the long-term.
Going to a team like Barca, Juve, or PSGcould be huge, but probably won’t last more than two or three years. The MLS can offer Aguero longercontractsinstead. And he may even get paid well enough to accept it.
But which teams could afford him? Well,some teamsmay be capable of convincingAguero. Inter Miami, Los Angeles Galaxy, and Los Angeles FC could be those sides.
Is David Beckham making another impressive move for his Inter Miami? (Getty).
The team from South Florida has a worldwide figure like David Beckham behind and from their very first season in the MLS they have brought big names such as Gonzalo Higuaín and Blaise Matuidi. The former England international playerhas expressed his desire to keep on adding world-class talent to the squad. Even Lionel Messi was linked to this destination. However, Inter Miami already have a top player like Higuaín atEl Kun’s position.
Los Angeles Galaxy could be another option to make possible Aguero’s arrivalto the MLS. They were involved in many blockbuster deals in the past years, asides from the historic signing of Beckham in 2007. Zlatan Ibrahimovic moved to Galaxy in 2018 and two years later Chicharito Hernández did it. But as the Mexican couldn’t perform at his best yet, bringing a player like Aguero would be a boost for this team.
The other side from the Californian city, Los Angeles FC, were reported to be another candidate to land the Argentine. Carlos Vela provesthat this organization can sign well-known players, but making another effort for Aguero would be very demanding. If they accomplish it, though, LAFC would have arguably the best-attacking duo from the entire league.
