Independiente deny Aguero sale to Atletico
BUENOS AIRES (AFP) - Independiente club president Julio Comparada has rubbished Spanish press reports that teenage Argentine starlet Sergio Aguero has signed for Atletico Madrid.
Spanish newspaper As and radio station Cadena Ser reported Friday that the 17-year-old had signed an eight-year contract with the Madrid club for more than 20 million euros.
But Comparada retorted: "I can absolutely confirm that he (Aguero) has not been sold. I am very surprised by these reports in the Spanish press. It is complete nonsense."
As and Cadena Ser reported that Atletico had beaten off competition from European giants Barcelona, Juventus and Bayern Munich to land the highly-rated striker.
Aguero is the youngest ever player to play in the Argentine top league at 15 years and one month and this last season he smashed 17 goals in 34 matches. He has been compared to Diego Maradona and Brazilian legend Romario.
Comparada confirmed that the Argentine club, who have won the Copa Libertadores a record seven times along with 14 national championships, are in talks with Atletico and other clubs but said no sale has been agreed.
He did admit, however, that Atletico's offer was the closest to the amount Independiente are looking for.
