Chelsea want Aguero to drop personal demands

Chelsea risk missing out on Atletico Madrid ace Sergio Aguero.

The News of the World says Juventus and Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan are Chelsea's two main rivals for Aguero, who is likely to have made his last appearance for Atletico Madrid in Wednesday's Europa League Final win over Fulham.

Aguero himself would prefer to move to the Premier League, but only if the deal is right.

In previous negotiations with Chelsea, the player's representatives indicated he would be prepared to take a pay cut of about £1million net a year in order to fulfil his ambition of coming to England.

But Aguero's package at Atletico is so lucrative that Chelsea would still have to put him up with top earner and captain John Terry, whose deal is worth about £160,000 per week.
