Can't see it happening. Pato, Zlatan, Robinho & Cassano...they're pretty much set for the next 3 years.
Zlatan is no done deal. And Berlusconi wants to bring another CL victory to Milan.

A team will make room for a player like him. You don't just not sign a player like Kun Aguero if you have the opportunity.

I agree, but if you're ManCity, Chelsea, or AC Milan, are you going to spend 40 million on a back-up? Barca decided they wanted Rossi instead...that only leaves Real Madrid, who I don't think he'd go to. What other team on the planet could afford him? The only other teams out there that could afford him are Inter, Bayern, and Roma. Roma isn't going to be in the Champions League next year and aren't any better than Atletico so I couldn't see him going there. That leaves Inter and Bayern...are either interested?
Let's not forget that his release clause is 40 million. That was his price when he signed it months ago, that's his price now, and he will always be that price unless he signs another contract. So it's not like teams have to get him now, the opportunity just hasn't come up, he could be bought at any time for 40 million. The thing is if no team offers that much, will he protest and try to get Atletico to sell him for less? He picked a bad time; as great as he is (could play in any starting XI in the world except for maybe Real Madrid, if they wanted to keep their 4-5-1 that is) none of the top teams have good use for him at the moment. But what I'm sure will happen is that ManCity or Chelsea will buy him, and the former would bench him (especially if Tevez is there) while the latter would play him out of position. Honestly he should stay at Atletico Madrid, you don't absolutely have to be in the Champions League to continue developing. He should try to help get them a top 4 finish next season, and if they don't, evaluate his options then.
Ive read the statement and yes he says thats why he's leaving but lets be honest if he goes to Man City or Chelsea or even Real Madrid he's going to earn more money and be perhaps the best paid player in the world. I may very well want a new challenge and chance to reach his full potential but don't give this rubbish that money isn't a factor because I'm not buying it. Why sign a new deal at the club and give this false hope to the Atletico fans about his love for the club when he knew all a long he was going in the summer, he said he loved the club and thats why he signed the deal but now he's saying its because he wants a bigger transfer fee? That will give him more money as well as the club, hes human of course he's going to try and get as much money as he can for himself and if in turn that gives the club more money then great but don't say that money isnt a factor when it clearly is. A real kick in the teeth for Atletico would be for him to sign for Real Madrid then lets hear him say he loves the club. He's just the same as Torres saying he loves the club or Rooney and his stupid situation before January.
How does a bigger transfer fee equate to a larger signing on fee? Look at players like Chamakh who see out their contract, enabling them to move on a free transfer and pull in huge signing on fees and agent fees. Also, didn't the contract he signed in January lower his minimum fee release clause? They surely won't allow him to leave for less than that agreed value.
I can see him replacing Tevez, but I'd prefer to see him join Chelsea in truth. I think a Torres / Aguero partnership could work well, and Chelsea need to have the option to change formation. A 4-2-3-1 would suit their squad if they were able to bring in a quality right winger, with Aguero in the hole supplying Torres. Aguero is also versatile enough to play in a wide position when needed. I disagree with Curtis though, I think he'd be the main man at City if he went there. Tevez looks certain to leave.
Aguero will not join Real Madrid. The rivalry is far too intense.
Where would Spurs be in the table if they brought him in on the final day?
