“Chelsea want me” – World-class striker says Chelsea actually wanted to sign him after playing against him
In a surprising revelation, Sergio Aguero, one of football’s greatest strikers, has disclosed that Chelsea once harbored an interest in signing him before he reached the pinnacle of his career.
Hit and Miss in Striker Signings
Chelsea’s history with big-money striker signings has been a mixed bag, with successes like Didier Drogba and Diego Costa offset by disappointments such as Alvaro Morata and Fernando Torres.
The Missed Opportunity
Aguero, who ranks fifth in the all-time top scorers list in the Premier League, revealed that Chelsea’s interest in him was sparked after a Champions League encounter between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea in 2009.
Unfollowed Interest
Despite initial interest from Chelsea, Aguero lamented the lack of follow-up from the club. While he harbored a desire to play in the Premier League and admired Chelsea’s allure, the opportunity never materialized.
Missed Partnerships
Imagining partnerships between Aguero and Chelsea’s star players like Eden Hazard and Juan Mata remains a tantalizing thought for fans. However, Aguero’s revelation hints at a potential missed opportunity for both player and club.
Champions League Dreams
Had Aguero joined Chelsea, he might have fulfilled his dream of lifting the Champions League trophy, a feat that eluded him throughout his illustrious career. The Blues’ success in the competition during Aguero’s prime adds a layer of regret to the missed opportunity.
Final Thoughts
While Chelsea’s interest in Aguero never materialized into a transfer, the Argentine’s impact on the Premier League and football history remains undeniable. His revelation adds an intriguing what-if scenario to Chelsea’s transfer history.
