Chelsea, Man Utd alerted as Aguero confirms likely Atletico Madrid exit

Sergio Aguero concedes he could be on the move from Atletico Madrid in the summer.

Chelsea were plotting a £40million bid for the Argentina striker last month but no move materialised.

United boss Alex Ferguson is interested in Aguero - son-in-law of Argentine legend Diego Maradona - but has yet to make a firm bid as Atletico continue to play hardball over the fee.

The Premier League title rivals are set to step up their interest after this summer's World Cup.

But playmaker Aguero, 21, revealed, although he loves Atletico, he cannot rule out leaving the club.

He said: "I have enormous affection for Atletico but you cannot say I'll be here for ever.

"At the moment, I'm happy here and love the fans. I hope I can do well for them on the pitch."
