Aguero Rush: Leeds United emerge as shock contenders.

The race to sign Sergio Aguero this summer has heated up with the entry of Leeds United as another suitor, according to a report.

Aguero is out of contract with Manchester City at the end of the season. The club have already confirmed they will not be renewing their all-time record scorer’s deal. Hence, his decade of service will come to an end, leaving him on the lookout for a new club.

The 32-year-old is keen to prove he can still succeed in the Premier League despite failing to score from open play in this season’s competition. He could also consider a move to another major European league.

There are plenty of suitors vying to keep him in England. A recent report claimed that he could consider a move to Tottenham or Chelsea.

Aguero does not see Champions League football as an absolute necessity when choosing his next club. Therefore, there could be a chance for some of the outside contenders to snap him up.

But a move to Leeds would definitely be a surprise – and yet it is a possibility, according to 90min.

The website claims that Leeds have joined the race to sign Aguero as a free agent.

Patrick Bamford has done considerably better up front and is expected to stay at Elland Road. In fact, Leeds are trying to tie him down to a new contract.

But they need additional competition up front, and signing Aguero would be a huge statement of intent.

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is naturally a fan of his compatriot and would welcome him to West Yorkshire. Such a move would also mean that Aguero would not have to move house, whereas joining one of his London suitors or a foreign team would.
