It is believed that Aguero's agent alerted Joan Laporta even before he was elected Barcelona president.

Aguero has struggled with several injury problems from the start of the season and has failed to integrate himself into Pep Guardiola's starting XI.

The elite goal scorer made just seven appearances for City this season without finding the backing of the net but he has two Champions League goals.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Pep Guardiola has hailed Man United after the Red Devils ended his side's 21-game unbeaten run on Sunday evening, March 7.

A goal each from Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw proved to be the difference as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer engineered a memorable win at Etihad Stadium.

Fernandes scored United's opener inside the second minute of the kick-off, converting from the spot after Gabriel Jesus tripped Anthony Martial in the area.

Efforts by City to restore parity in the first half were unsuccessful as United remained resolute at the back to fend off every attack.
