Manchester City have completed the £35m signing of Argentine superstar Sergio Aguero on a five-year deal, the club has announced.
After a whirlwind day of activity, the 23-year-old striker left the Etihad Stadium last night after thrashing out the terms of a contract which is set to be worth £200,000 a week. Aguero is expected to be in the squad for the Dublin Super Cup this weekend and will wear the number 16 shirt for the Blues.
Even before the club confirmed the deal, Aguero was already declaring he was a Blue.
“I’m already a City player. Happy to be in this club and this city. Thank you all for the welcome and the reception!” he wrote on his Twitter account.
Aguero had cut short a family holiday to jet into Manchester from Buenos Aires yesterday morning to complete what will be the biggest move of the summer transfer window.
He was whisked off to the Bridgewater Hospital in Whalley Range for a three-hour medical before heading to the Etihad Stadium where he was greeted by scores of City fans ahead of meeting chief executive Gary Cook and football administrator Brian Marwood.
The £38m fee agreed with Atletico Madrid will make Aguero - who is married to Diego Maradona’s youngster daughter Giannina - City’s record buy, eclipsing the £32.5m the Blues paid Real Madrid for Robinho in 2008.
