Sports News] According to a recent exclusive interview with Sergio Aguero by
Clank.media, there are claims of deception involving Lionel Messi’s “faked
injury” incident in a friendly match. In January 2021, Manchester City
informed Aguero that they would not be renewing his contract. Subsequently,
Barcelona contacted Aguero and offered him a reduced salary to join their team.
Aguero expressed his desire to play alongside Messi and called him to inquire
about his plans with Barcelona. Messi assured Aguero that the contract issues
with Barcelona would be resolved, and he would remain with the team. Based on
Messi’s assurance, Aguero agreed to a salary reduction and joined Barcelona,
finalizing the contract in just two days. However, in August 2021, contract
renewal negotiations between Barcelona and Messi collapsed, shattering Aguero’s
expectations of playing alongside Messi. Barcelona later offered Aguero the No.
10 jersey, traditionally worn by Messi, but he declined the offer.
