Premier League winner confirms Chelsea interest in signing him!

Premier League legend Sergio Aguero has claimed that CHELSEA wanted to sign him before he joined Manchester City.

The former City star revealed that back in 2009 – while he was still at Atletico Madrid – the club had expressed their desire to sign him after he firmly established himself as one of the best young strikers in the game.

Aguero went on to win numerous titles with Man City and became one of the greatest strikers that the Premier League has ever seen – and a man that will go down in legend at City.

Now – he has opened up and revealed that we wanted to sign him before he made the move to Man City – Speaking to The Club YouTube channel, the ex-Argentina international said, “After that game, maybe two months after, my agent said to me: ‘Chelsea are interested’. I had just three years at Atletico Madrid.

‘I mean, I loved the Premier League, to play there, but CHELSEA were never interested after. At first, yes, but then my agent said: ‘Okay, maybe not’.”

He further revealed what Stamford Bridge legend Frank Lampard told him after the English midfielder joined City in 2014 on a short-term deal.

He added, “I spoke about that with Frank Lampard because Frank Lampard played at Manchester City. He said when I played against him, he told the staff at Chelsea to sign Aguero.”
