Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has revealed he is close to a sensational return to football – as a club owner.

The 36-year-old, who had to retire from football almost three years ago due to a heart condition, keeps the identity of the club a secret, but says he is not in his native Argentina.

He revealed his plans in a chat with Argentinian streamer Coscu, real name Martin Perez Disalvo, saying when asked if he wanted to return to football as a manager: “The truth is I’m thinking of getting involved with a club of football as a coach. owner.

“I won’t say which club it is, but I think we are on the right track.

“I like to manage, to help the club progress, to build a good team, a good staff.

“I’d rather see a club grow in a proper way, to be honest.”

Aguero already has an eSports team, KRU Esports, which his close friend Lionel Messi joined as co-owner last November.

The fact that he spends most of his time in Miami, where Messi plays, will fuel speculation that he has his eye on an MLS team.

Earlier this month, the former Premier League star showed a glimpse of his past glory by scoring a goal at the Soccer Tournament – a 7-on-7 competition in Cary, North Carolina – in a Man City kit.

Aguero’s team was fighting La Mexicana Express.

The father, whose model girlfriend Sofia Calzetti is soon to give birth to their first child together, announced his retirement from professional football at an emotional press conference in December 2021.

He was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat days after being taken to hospital clutching his chest and complaining of breathing problems and dizziness during a match against Alaves in late October 2021.

He signed for Barcelona after becoming the club’s record goalscorer during his decade at the Citizens.

Aguero took a massive pay cut to join the Catalan giants after being offered the chance to team up with seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi before his glittering career was cut short.

He played just five games for Barcelona after his departure from Man City and Messi moved to Paris Saint-Germain.
