Report: Aguero wants to stay in the Premier League to break a historic record

Sergio Aguero is close to breaking multiple goal-scoring records in the Premier League. According to Evening Standard, the Argentine striker is more tempted to stay in the English top-flight and write his name with golden letters in PL history.

The Argentine marksman will be one of the most wanted players after his contract runs out in June. Multiple clubs including Barcelona are interested in acquiring his services. One of the names on the table is of the PL giants, Chelsea. Sources close to him tell that he insists on a move to London.

Currently, Aguero is the 4th highest top scorer in the PL history, 6 goals behind Andrew Cole who is in 3rd place with 187 goals. Alan Shearer’s record of 260 goals is surely out of reach, however, Wayne Rooney’s record of 208 goals will be a target that he will look to beat if he pens a 2-3 years contract at the London-based club.

The Argentine forward was allowed to start talks with clubs outside England since the turn of the year, this gives other European giants a headstart to start negotiations with him. Chelsea are said to be interested in acquiring his services. The Blues have failed to create any magic even after making three hefty signings in attack in the summer.

Another fact that needs to be taken into consideration will be Aguero’s wages. Except for Manchester duo and Chelsea, none of the PL clubs would be able to pay the Argentine’s wages which will range from £200,000 to £300,000. A move to United would certainly be off the charts given the fact that Aguero will not want to harm his image in City’s fanbase.

In the Barcelona circles also the signing of Aguero is not the top priority. The coach desperately wants Memphis Depay and the board intends to land Erling Haaland. Names of players such as Lukaku and Latauro Martinez are also on the table.

It will be a wild guess to make on who the Catalan club will sign in the next summer, however, the news from England indicates that the signing of Aguero has just got more complicated.
