Sir Alex Ferguson has turned his sights on the young Argentine star after giving up on Valencia’s David Villa, who is expected to join Real Madrid.The Telegraph suggest he may be expensive, and not just in the wages department, saying that Atletico
Aguero – nicknamed Kun – has scored 37 leeague goals in the last two years for Atletico and is only still 21.
Chelsea have already made contact over the talented striker, but were put off by his £200,000-a-week wage demands.
But Fergie is hoping that Aguero will lower those as he would get the chance to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
The £80m United will get for Cristiano Ronaldo is starting to burn a hole in Fergie’s pocket.
United would be prepared to offer Aguero, who is married to Diego Maradona’s daughter, a five year deal at £120,000 a week, but again hope the lure of Old Trafford would be enough to attract him.
will not sell sublime Argentine Sergio Aguero for less than £50million. ...
Atletico president Enrique Cerezo admits he is powerless to stop his best player leaving if a bid matches his buy-ouy clause, which, with taxes, is almost £55m.More likely seem the arrival of Valencia, with the Mail having some words from Dave Whelan:United will want to knock at least £10m off that figure but Cerezo has a mandate from his board to stand firm and they are well aware that the English club will have £100m to spend when Real Madrid complete the £80m signing of Ronaldo in the next few days.
Cerezo said: 'We will not sell. We have a good team and we will strengthen it in every way that we can.
'We are absolutely calm, not afraid of anything or anyone. We have contracts that we respect and we hope others respect them.
Latics chairman Dave Whelan confirmed he has received 'acceptable' offers for the Ecuador international but no talks have been held yet.
'United and Real Madrid both know he is away,' said Whelan. 'We can't do anything until he gets back. Where he goes is entirely up to him.
'It's no good me saying he is going to Manchester United because he is the boss and we'll be listening to what he says. We have had offers that are acceptable to Wigan Athletic, around the £14-18 million mark but what we will finish up with eventually I don't know.
Mark Ogden, in The Telegraph, has two articles, both of which I had to check the date of, just to check they weren't from a couple of weeks ago. First one suggests that Tevez might not have been worth £25 million. Second one suggests that finding a striker might not be too easy. Neither is really worth reading, just rehashing everything that's been written in the last couple of weeks.Reports in the both the Spanish and English media suggested United were looking to invest some of the £80m they are set to receive from Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo on Casillas. However, Casillas was quoted by AS as saying: "There is absolutely nothing, neither from United nor another club. Neither my agent nor Madrid have informed me of any offer, and nobody has called me either."
The 28-year-old has been a regular for his hometown club since making his debut in 1999. In February 2008 he signed a new contract, tying him to Real until the completion of the 2016-17 season, and the Spain captain insists he is looking to see the deal through.
"I have a contract with Madrid until 2017 and what I'm thinking about is completing it. Everybody knows Madrid are in my heart and that I'm a White until I die. I joined Real Madrid as a child and Madrid is my home."
Finally, a non transfer story - Jack Rodwell looks up to Rio Ferdinand:
“The person I look up to is Rio Ferdinand.
“I have always played at the back and from a young age I have always looked at him and wanted to play like him.
“As I have come to this age I have started to play in midfield and I believe that Rio did the same when he was younger then moved back to centre-half.
“I have heard the comparisons between me and Rio. It’s brilliant to be compared with such a player as that and I try to base my own game on the way he plays.”
