The signing of
Sergio Agüero
by Barcelona barely had a livelihood. According to the Barcelona president,
Joan Laporta
, who made the decision, the arrival at the Camp Nou of the former Manchester City and Atlético striker should help convince his friend from adolescence
Leo Messi
to renew. What neither of the two footballers expected is that the president would end up closing the door to Rosario, already on his way to PSG. Agüero, with a crooked gesture, has suddenly found himself in a club where his greatest motivation was to share a team and social life with Messi. And without the possibility of joining a squad unaccustomed to calamities. The striker, injured, will not be able to debut with Barça until the end of November.
It was surprising that last Sunday Agüero did not attend Messi's official farewell at the Camp Nou Auditorium - he did at the previous dinner at the home of
La Pulga
accompanied by
streamer
Ibai
- nor did he appear with the rest of his teammates at the Joan Gamper trophy. According to Barcelona sources, it was all due to the recommendation of the doctors once they saw the severity of his injury. After completing new medical examinations this Monday, the club has confirmed that the footballer suffers a tendon injury in the internal calf of the right leg. And that your time off will be ten weeks.
A physical mishap that accompanies Agüero's long history of injuries.
Last season, his last at Manchester City, the 33-year-old forward could only start eight official games.
He first suffered a left knee injury.
Later, once recovered, he had to deal with the effects of the coronavirus.
All this with the concern that the departure of Leo Messi has caused in his environment.
As
Betevé
reported last weekend
, Agüero's lawyers studied if there was a way to terminate his contract before starting the season.
A possibility that you lose weight after injury.
The absence of Agüero, which was not a priority bet for the technical secretariat even if he arrived with the freedom letter, puts
Ronald Koeman
in a new predicament
.
Especially because, initially and despite being a starter at Gamper, his idea was not to have
Martin Braithwaite
, whom Barcelona is trying to find a buyer in the Premier League.
The offer market was also tracked to find a destination for the Albanian
King Manaj
, whose good pre-season after passing through the subsidiary should facilitate a correct sale.
Everything is now fallow, with
Memphis Depay
and
Antoine Griezmann
still carrying more cargo in the post-Messi Barça.
