Kun Agüero

El Mundo Deportivo ran a story yesterday about how Pedro Tapote, a close friend to Real Madrid president, Ramon Calderon, had accidentally let slip during a conversation that the ‘White House’ have secured the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United for the summer of 2009.

Now, elconfidencial.com has speculated that Los Merengues have also closed a deal to bring Atletico Madrid’s star striker, Sergio Aguero to the Santiago Bernabeu next season.

Javier Gomez Matallanas wrote in his segment ‘Matador’ that Calderon has already reached an agreement with the Atletico owners to purchase El Kun by paying off his €60 million buy-out clause.

The rumour is also based on the information that Madrid’s executive director, Jose Angel Sanchez had met with Atletico’s general manager, Miguel Angel Gil Marin this past summer. Marin refused to sell the Argentine hot-shot for any price back then but sources close to president Calderon has revealed that the situation has since changed.

Aguero, however, had previously declared that he would never join crosstown rivals, Real Madrid while further assuring Los Colchoneros fans that he would only leave Atleti to return to his native Argentina to see out his playing career.

Just like the Ronaldo report, there has yet to be any official word or response from any of the parties concerned.
