Chelsea and Manchester City have been encouraged by developments at Atletico Madrid involving Sergio Aguero.
Sport says Atletico chiefs are resigned to selling the Argentina striker at the end of the season after his agents indicated they’re ready to demand a double-your-money contract for the youngster to stay.
Aguero is currently on £3.5 million-a-year and Atletico could not consider paying a £7 million salary to keep the young forward.
The Argie, whose contract carries a £40 million buyout clause, is a target for both City and Chelsea and is likely to quit Spain rather than move to a Liga rival when he does decide to leave Atletico. (tribalfootball.com)

20-year-old ‘Kun’ Aguero is idolised in Argentina where he considered a footballing god and a very real pretender to the crown of the role of the ‘next Maradona’, although this could very well have a lot to do with the fact that his girlfriend is in fact Diego’s daughter! Many believe he has even more ability than Lionel Messi (although anyone who watched the Barca man tear apart Aguero’s Atletico 6-1 on the weekend may want to reassess this opinion).

Either way, he is a hugely talented youngster and, if Madrid are going to let him leave rather than stoop up the huge wage demands of the attacker, then Manchester City must feel confident of snaring him. Given the financial clout they currently possess, it would be a coup if they did capture the former Independiente man, but then no less so than the signing of Robinho, so I wouldn’t bet against it happening!

Are Man City fans hopeful that their side can break into the four and, if so, when could this become a reality? This season possibly?
