May 13, live exclusive news: Barcelona team plans to introduce a new striker in the next season, Argentine star Aguero has become a favorite candidate, the club is actively promoting the deal. Once Aguero joins, Braithwaite is likely to be sold by the club.
Since joining City in 2011, Aguero has scored 258 goals in 388 official matches, making him City's all-time leading scorer. He has won the Premier League title with the team five times, including the 11-12, 13-14, 17-18, 18-19 seasons, and this season. Aguero's big game experience is a valuable asset for Barcelona. Messi and his teammates welcomed Aguero's arrival, which allowed Messi to reunite with his former teammate. According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have been in increasing contact with Aguero, who is also willing to accept a pay cut to return to La Liga. Aguero's signing could herald the continued stay of Messi, with the club hoping to extend his contract, which expires on June 30 next year, for at least two more seasons.
The general opinion is that Barcelona lacks a center forward to support Messi in the game. Last year, Koeman tried to sign Depay, but he failed to join due to La Liga salary regulations restrictions. This season, Koeman has played Ansou Fathi as a shadow striker, partnering Messi and Griezmann. In Fathi's absence, Dembele has taken his place, partnering Messi. Brathwaite is the team's only traditional No. 9, but Koeman has used him more often as a substitute, playing in key moments. This season, Braithwaite has scored just seven goals in all competitions. He himself wants to play in the Europa League and is looking to be traded to a Premier League side. However, Barcelona prefer to bring in Aguero.
