In a personal statement left on his verified twitter page and his personal website, Atletico Madrid and Argentina international striker Sergio ‘Kun’ Aguero expressed his desire to move away from Atletico Madrid. Atletico purchased Aguero from Independiente in 2006, and since then he has become one of the most highly coveted young players in world football. He’s scored 74 goals in La Liga in his time at Atletico, including double-digit tallies in all of the last four seasons and 20 goals this year. In all competitions, Aguero has scored over 100 goals for Atletico Madrid.
Sergio ‘Kun’ Aguero Asks For Transfer Away From Atletico Madrid
It’s been an up and down ride for the club since Aguero arrived, with some of the highs including qualifying for Champions League and winning the Europa League. However, this season was a serious disappointment for Atletico, and as a result, Aguero has asked for a transfer elsewhere. Here is an excerpt from his statement on his personal website.
De más está decir que no se trata de una cuestión económica sino estrictamente deportiva. Por eso quiero expresar claramente mi reconocimiento al club por los esfuerzos que ha hecho por mantenerme hasta con un salario acorde a las instituciones más grandes del mundo.
Roughly translated, the above-quoted text says that his decision to ask for a transfer is strictly a sporting decision, not an economic one. He then thanks the club for paying him a salary consistent with what he would have received from a richer club.
