Aguero Tells close friend Messi: Manchester City is ideal

Sergio Aguero admits he has tried convincing Lionel Messi
to ditch Barcelona and join him at Manchester City.

City would be keen to sign Messi, should he ever become
available, although the Argentine claimed after his Ballon
d’Or victory earlier this month that Barcelona would be the
only club in Europe he’d ever play for.

But that’s not stopped Aguero, a close friend of Messi from
their involvement with the Argentina national team, from
trying to lure the 28-year-old to Manchester.

"He already knows there's no beach!” Aguero told Sky
Sports.

“As I said to him, at the end of the day we spend the
majority of our time inside at home.

"We play every three days so we just eat, rest between
games - so the weather is not really that important.

"So I told him that Manchester is ideal as a city because you
stay at home all day, you play every three days, we can eat,
we can meet up, drink Mate [a traditional South American
drink] and play football together."
