Man seriously, no way on earth atletico will sell the guy for 25-30 million euros its just wont happen. They bought him for 22 million euros when he was just 17!!! And this year he's doing some unbelievable things, if any team is lucky then they'll get him for around 40-45 million euros as one of the posters said....Anyways i think that argantina is very lucky for having both messi and aguero together in their team (its like having both maradona and romario in the same team....).
Well look it is pointless to argue on that. That is the reason contracts are made. If Aguero buyout clause is set for 36 mln. then when signing the contract there must have been one of those:
1. Aguero wanted to be assured that he would be able to leave atletico for a destination he would prefer. Not the only one team that could pay for example 45 mln. euros (actually never paid for an youngster).
2.Atletico's bosses decided that if sb comes with 36mln. euros throwing them in front of their noses they would gladly accept.
3.Atletico could not affort to offer a higher salary for the player at that point(or they thought it was not worth it) and unless they sign a new contract with much impoooved salary (not a fact up to now) they must accept this price for the player. And it is quite normal even if you sign the next Pele or Maradona and give him 10 or 20 000 a week you cannot expect to receive 100 mln. for him.
So NO THEY CANNOT ASK FOR 45 MLN. EUROS, SINCE HE WILL LEAVE ON BUYOUT CLAUSE.
I believe that if these rumours that we are chasing him are half true that is the reason why - maybe moggi wrote a letter to secco tipping him on how to actually stay at the club and do some good. (a-la Nocerino call.) And also that the bargain is around Tiago (one of the main reasons we did not sell him to Tottenham I at least hope)
Aguero on the other hand,doesnt have the luxury of someone like Roberto Baggio with him for a few seasons.So,its unfair to say if he's superior or inferior than what Del Piero was at 19.
Exactly what we should be counting on. I think that will be another great thing our captain can do for us. He knows he is not 20 anymore so he would be happy to have sb replacing him in the squad. Not to mention that he has a lot of admirers throughout the players (all around the world) and youngsters such as Aguero would be more than happy to have sb like him around. That will guarantee them that they will accelerate their growth time at least twice. If Aguero stays in Atletico he is going to get better - but he would be unable to obtain that class and quality of the game that you can get only within the best teams, such as Juventus. That is why his manager denied Chelsea.
The only worries I would have is whether he sees the right coach in the face of Ruinieri. But let's hope that with Mourinho on the transfer market Lippi would come back to us. Then I am sure that Aguero would be 100% willing to arrive at Juventus and it would be up to out management to act.
