Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero could be lining up alongside each other at club level next season, with Pablo Zabaleta of the opinion that long-running sagas at Barcelona and Manchester City could be about to get turned on their head.

Aguero is among those to have welcomed those rumours, but he is approaching free agency himself and may end up joining an iconic countryman in Catalunya as he is linked with a switch when his contract in England expires. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/a-few-weeks-ago-it-was-messi-to-man-city-aguero-move-could/1kxd9tel63c021wtja4n6wdudr" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>
