Juve track Argentine ace
Juventus are reportedly lining up an enormous part exchange swoop for Argentine striking sensation Sergio Aguero.
The 19-year-old is turning heads with Atletico Madrid after hitting five goals in nine games in La Liga.
Aguero joined the Rojiblancos from Argentine giants Independiente for £15m and has helped fill the gap left by star striker Fernando Torres’ departure to Liverpool.
It has been suggested that the Bianconeri would be willing to offer Atletico nearly £15m and unsettled midfielder Tiago Mendes in exchange for the prodigious hitman.
Juve sporting director Alessio Secco [pictured] is believed to be planning a trip to the Spanish capital shortly to make an official approach.
However, Indios President Enrique Cerezo has insisted that he won’t part with Aguero for less than the £24m that activates his rescission clause.
Nonetheless, an agreement may be reached if Aguero insists upon a move to a side in next season’s Champions League.
Aguero made history when he became the youngest player ever to play in Argentina’s Primera Divison shortly after his 15th birthday.
With five international caps already to his name, the precocious marksman has even won comparisons to the great Diego Maradona.
