Aguero could undergo Barcelona medical immediately after Champions League final

As the curtains are about to draw to a close on a topsy-turvy 2020-21 season for Barcelona, the summer transfer window is now closer than ever as the club begins plotting a much-needed rebuild. One of the key facets of this new era under Joan Laporta seems to be the signing of Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero.

Roger Terello of Mundo Deportivo writes that Aguero’s signing is not fully closed yet contrary to many reports that broke out yesterday. However, the deal is ‘80% done’ but there are a few minor but important details left to be ironed out, which will be done in the coming days.

The report outlines that Barcelona and Manchester City will try to work out the details and seal the move after the Champions League final on the 29th of May. The newly crowned Premier League champions will face Chelsea in Portugal for the final. Barcelona will hope to resume proceedings after all of Aguero’s commitments with his current club are over.

The idea is for the striker to undergo his medical tests and sign the rumoured two-year contract as soon as the 31st of May. It is short notice since the 32-year old will also have to travel with the Argentine squad just four days after the UCL final to play their FIFA World Cup qualifiers from March, which were postponed.

If the logistics don’t work out in time, he will be signed after the Copa America. As previously reported, Lionel Messi’s renewal could also have to wait until then since the club is still gathering information about the exact nature of their financial leeway.

But if things go to plan, Sergio Aguero would be announced as a Barcelona player in the first days of June.
