Independiente confirm plans to bring back Man City striker Sergio Aguero

Independiente are seeking to bring Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero back to the club.

The iconic striker, 32, began his career with the Argentine giants and has made no secret of his desire to end his glittering career there.

Boss Julio Cesar Falcioni worked with Aguero for a year before he joined Atletico Madrid in 2016.

And having just returned to Independiente, he is eager for club transfer chief Hector 'Yoyo' Maldonado to reunite him with Aguero this summer.

Falcioni said: “We have talked to Yoyo and he is going to call Aguero to see if he feels like coming back.

“It would be a pleasure to coach him again, but here he will not be able to sign something similar to what he earns there.

“He would be with all his friendly people again, defending the colours he loves.

“I know there is an intention to call him, to propose that he returns home, returns to his country so that he can be comfortable and help us make a bigger Independiente.

“We know each other a lot. We had a year together and we both have fond memories of that time."
