Sergio Aguero flew out of Buenos Aires last night bound for the Premier League after Manchester City agreed a club record £35 million fee with Atlético Madrid for the forward.
The player is expected to hold talks with Manchester City today over a five-year contract, thought to be worth around £150,000-a-week, before completing his move.
The 23-year-old’s imminent arrival brings to a close one of the most laborious sagas of the summer and represents a major victory for the Etihad Stadium side and City’s manager, Roberto Mancini, in his attempts to build a team capable of winning the Premier League .
Aguero, son-in-law to Diego Maradona, widely hailed as a key figure for the future of the Argentine national side and one of Spain’s most prolific forwards over the last five years, had been coveted by both Juventus and Real Madrid.
That City have been able to see off such illustrious competition will be seen as undeniable proof of their altered status on the world stage.
The player is thought to have indicated his willingness to move to the Premier League after discussing City’s offer with his wife, Maradona’s daughter Giannina, in his homeland over the weekend.
