Agüero Buy-Out Clause Up To €60m
-
Atlético Madrid sporting director, Jesús García Pitarch has revealed that as of yesterday, star player Sergio Agüero’s buy-out clause has been increased to €60 million.
García Pitarch appeared before the media yesterday to review the club’s activities in the summer transfer market, although the majority of the press conference was spent on Sergio Agüero’s future.
As such, the Atleti sports director revealed that any club wishing to attain the services of El Kun will have to part with €60 million to meet his buy-out clause.
“Last year, we had a negotiation to set his buy-out clause at €55 million, which will be increased to €60 million this year, and that has already come into effect,” he explained.
Although it is only a mere €5 million rise, García Pitarch confirmed that the club is in no hurry to increase it any further in the near future, despite the player attracting numerous interests from several big clubs during the summer and the threat of a possible transfer market revolution.
“At the moment, we are not going to review his clause again and we are very calm about his future. Moreover, he has shown that he is not interested at all in leaving Atlético Madrid,” he added confidently.
