Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola admits striker Sergio Aguero is close to signing for Barcelona.

The Argentine is out of contract in the summer, and had already announced his departure from City at the end of this season.

The 32-year-old scored a total of 260 goals in 389 games for the club over the past decade.

“Maybe I reveal a secret,” Guardiola told the BBC’s Match of the Day.

“Maybe he is close to agreeing on a deal for the club of my heart – for Barcelona.

“He is going to be playing alongside the best player of all time, Messi.”

Guardiola added: “I’m pretty sure he is going to enjoy. And maybe Barcelona are stronger and stronger with him on the pitch.”
