What has Aguero said?

"You already know how I was on the football field and the commitment with which I faced my career, in each of the clubs I played for and in the Argentine national team," Aguero said.

"All of them allowed me to develop, grow and show myself as I am. In this new stage of my life, I wanted to find a place where I can also apply that same formula.

"Joining a company at the level of Disney fits perfectly in that search."

He added: "We think very much alike and all the projects we are seeing for Disney, ESPN, Disney+ and Star+ are exciting.

"We are going to do a lot of things for multiple platforms and even with my dear Kru Esports. I am very excited about this agreement and ready to go."

Why did Aguero retire?

Aguero spent 10 years with Manchester City before leaving the club on a free transfer last summer.

He ended up joining Barcelona. However, his time at Camp Nou was cut short.

Aguero was diagnosed with a heart problem after just a few months and had to call time on his career at the end of 2021, aged 33.
