Sergio Aguero is Real Madrid’s first choice to reinforce the forward line in the summer transfer market, according to Spanish digital newspaper El Confidencial.
Despite rumours suggesting Los Blancos will make a bid for Liverpool’s Luis Suarez, El Confidencial claims Florentino Perez has put Aguero in the first place of his whish list.
The Argentinian would be a cheaper option than Suarez. The Uruguayan would demand at least a salary of ten million euros a year, and Liverpool would not accept less than 75 million euros for the transfer.
Manchester City would be willing to let Aguero leave for much less than that, El Confidencial has stated.
The Spanish website claims Suarez would be the first option for the striker role in case Los Merengues sold Karim Benzema, as they would have around 50 million euros to cheapen the Uruguayan’s signing. However, the Frenchman’s great performance so far this season has quiet the rumours about his exit.
The signing of any striker next summer would open the door for youngster Alvaro Morata to leave either on loan or in a permanent deal. The club’s technical directors could be seeking a team for the Spaniard to get more minutes of play and improve his game.

What complete and utter rubbish. It would seem Aguero and City need to reiterate their stance every few months as whoever comes up with this drivel obviously keeps forgetting the last time both player and club made a statement about this supposed transfer….. City won’t sell, Aguero is happy at City….. END OF.
Come on, Alex, let’s be serious. Who could be happy living in Manchester? Aguero will leave as soon as he can.
I really do enjoy watching Aguero play and do believe he will be a great fit at Real Madrid but his relationship with a particular Argintine in FC Barcelona could cause problems in the dressing room. Luis Suarez made a strong statement saying he couldnt decide who was the better player so were ever he decides to play his opinion as to who is the better player wont affect the dressing room!
