Aguero: My Barcelona move wasn't tied to Messi

Barcelona summer signing Sergio Aguero insists he's happy with his move from Manchester City.

There has been a lot of speculation that Lionel Messi's exit would lead to Aguero following his compatriot out of the club, but the forward dismissed them out of hand.

"I didn't understand why that was said," Aguero told RAC1.

"Messi hadn't signed when I signed. An invented clause was spoken about, but there was nothing. Then I got injured."

It had been predicted that the Argentine would be out of action until November, but he is recovering ahead of schedule.

"I'm progressing well and next week I think I'll work a bit on the pitch," Aguero said.

"There's no timeframe for when I'll return, but I'm progressing well and it will be shorter than predicted.

"The last MRI looked good, but it's best to see how things progress in the coming weeks."
