Agüero Rejects Chelsea
-
Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Agüero has turned down the opportunity to join Chelsea after the West London club agreed to pay the release clause of his contract.
Agüero has enjoyed a superb second season in the Spanish top flight, scoring a number of vital goals and establishing himself as one of the best young players in world football.
Such performances have clearly garnered attention for the 19 year old, with 'AS' reporting that a number of clubs have approached Atletico in the last week with proposals to sign Agüero.
Atletico rejected most of the offers out of hand, but were forced to accept Chelsea's bid as it matched Agüero's release clause of €55million.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is keen to start a new era at Stamford Bridge following the likely break-up of the Jose Mourinho crafted team and is looking for exciting young talents who can fulfil his wish for attractive attacking football.
Agüero is one such player, but has rejected the opportunity to join Chelsea, indicating that he prefers to show loyalty to Atletico and continue the development of his game in Spain rather than make the jump to England.
The Argentine striker has settled well at Atletico and is clearly keen to repay the faith they showed in him by spending €20-odd million to sign him from Independiente in 2006, especially with the lure of Champions League football next season.
Inter Milan are thought to have been one of the other clubs that approached Atletico in the last week but with the Italian club unwilling to match Chelsea's offer and Agüero intent on staying in Madrid, there interest seems futile for now. -
