While news of Liverpool’s Luis Suarez is linked to Real Madrid are doing the rounds it would appear that los Blancos are also considering Manchester City striker Sergio Agüero as a January transfer target.
Apparently Real Madrid did make enquiry’s about Agüero during the summer but were told by Manchester City that he was not for sale after he had agree to a one-year extension on his contract that will keep him at the Etihad until 2017.
The Spanish club is now expected to come back to Manchester City in January with a bid of substantially more than City paid Atletico Madrid for the Argentinian international which is thought to be around £38 million.
In an interview with the Guardian newspaper yesterday Agüero spoke of his loyalty to the Northwest club saying: “I’m very happy at City, very happy since the day I came,” he said. “I knew that the project was good and in my head there is nothing else but Manchester City, so how long I’m going to be at City is just never a question.
“I’m happy here, my family’s here when they come to England, all I can do is give everything I have for the club and concentrate on achieving for the club. We are improving every year the team, the club, the club is growing, we are working in the same direction to get the club as high as possible. Some years are better than others, but it’s a much better club, a much better team than it was four or five years ago, so we just have to go [continue] in the same way.”
