Chelsea owner Abramovich to join battle for Atletico Madrid star Aguero

Chelsea are expected to move for want-away Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero.

The Argentina international has been a long-term target for Blues owner Roman Abramovich and is now ready to leave the Vicente Calderon.

Hernan Reguera, Aguero's representative, is sounding out interested clubs about a summer move and has already delivered an offer from Juventus to Atletico - which was immediately thrown out.

Aguero's buyout clause is set at £40 million and interestingly he has always maintained an ambition to play again with former Atletico captain Fernando Torres, now of Chelsea.

AS says Manchester City and Liverpool are also Premier League clubs monitoring Aguero's situation.
