Aguero would ‘love’ to see Barcelona superstar at Man City

Sergio Aguero has admitted that he would “love” to play alongside Lionel Messi at Manchester City.

Several reports are claiming that Messi is being lined up for a £357million switch to The Etihad in January, with the 30-year-old out of contract next summer and yet to officially pen a new deal with the Catalan giants.

And while Aguero has admitted how much he wants to play with the Argentina star, he has also acknowledged how difficult getting the deal done for City could be.

He told TyC Sport: “The money isn’t a problem here.

“But I think Messi, like [Cristiano] Ronaldo, are players who are symbols of their clubs and it’s difficult for them to leave.

“I would love to have Leo on my team, but that seems quite complicated.”
