In the night low Beijing time on May 13, the Spanish media broke the heavy news: will soon enter the free market Aguero, has quietly with Barcelona reached a two-year work contract. This transfer deal not only let Aguero's annual salary dropped significantly, but also heralded the team's far-reaching layout of Messi's future stay!
It's no secret that Aguero and Messi have a deep friendship, having joined forces to win Olympic gold for the Argentine national team at the 2008 Olympics - their only title glory together in the national team. Despite failing to lead their team to victory in the World Cup and Copa Sudamericana, the pair's desire to play alongside each other at the club has long been publicized.
Last summer, there were rumors that Messi was interested in joining Manchester City to share the limelight with Aguero. However, the 32-year-old Aguero has been limited by injuries and has made a limited number of appearances this season, contributing only four goals and one assist. At City, he is no longer an unassailable non-saleable, and neither side chose to extend his contract.
Messi's contract with Barcelona will expire this summer. Last summer, he was eager to leave, but the high liquidated damages deterred potential buyers, and Messi eventually chose to stay. This season, in addition to winning the Copa del Rey, Barcelona exited the Champions League early, and almost lost the hope of competing for the title in the league. In order to stay Messi, Barcelona urgently need to strengthen the lineup, if Aguero to join, Messi will greatly increase the possibility of contract renewal!
We are eagerly waiting for Aguero and Messi to join forces at Barcelona and look forward to another successful season in the Champions League and on the league stage!
