Sergio Kun Aguero has decided to make a special appearance for his beloved club, Independiente of Argentina. However, it’s not an official return to professional soccer, as he will only participate in a friendly match between local and international stars to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the team.
“We have plenty of reasons to celebrate because there is nothing more beautiful than being a fan of Independiente,” was the special message from the seven-time Copa Libertadores’ champion on social media. The game will be historic considering Ricardo Enrique Bochini has also been confirmed as part of the event.
Aguero, who is the all-time leading scorer of Manchester City, left Independiente when he was 18-years old to fulfill his dream to play in Europe. A cardiac illness forced the player to retire in 2021, just after signing with FC Barcelona.
During the last few weeks, several rumors suggested that the forward might come out of retirement. However, the player clarified that his medical condition did not allow him to return to high-performance competition.
