Manchester City Legend Sergio Aguero is arguably the best and most successful foreign player to have ever graced the Premier League. He’s a massive legend for the league and the club, and he’s made his presence known throughout a long and consistent period of ten years. The amount of consistency and longevity he’s provided as a footballer has to be rated at par with the likes of Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi and Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo.
Fabrizio Romano recently revealed that the Manchester City forward will move to Barcelona in the summer as a free agent. The Catalans have been looking for a forward ever since the departure of Luis Suarez to Atletico Madrid.
While Aguero may not be the long-term solution for the lack of no. 9 at the Nou Camp, the City legend can finally replace Suarez in the short term. Sergio Aguero may not be the youngest of players anymore but he still brings a lot to the table.
We will look at 5 different things that Sergio Aguero will bring to the table at Barcelona this summer:
5. Self-sufficiency
Over the last few seasons, Barcelona have lacked players that deliver by themselves during important stages. Obviously, they have Lionel Messi who delivers in almost every game. However, if the magician was not present this season in a hypothetical way, the club would have done much worse. Messi is capable of single-handedly making the difference and that was shown by him even this season despite the poor result.
Sergio Aguero brings exactly that. He brings in goals that will be created by himself. Though he is a proper center-forward who needs supply from the playmakers, Aguero is capable of taking things into his own hands and making the difference. Whether it is a long-range effort or a dribble-based solo goal, the Argentine has got it in him. This is a massive demand at Barcelona as the team looks extremely mediocre if Lionel Messi is absent or not having the level of impact he would desire.
