Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero is set to announce his retirement, it has been claimed.

The summer signing from Manchester City has been sidelined since suffering a heart scare earlier this season.

Local reporter Emilio Pérez de Rozas told Radio Marca: “On Wednesday there is an event where he announces that he is retiring from football. It seems to me that it was a few weeks ago, the journalist Gerard Romero said it, Rafa Yuste, before the game against Espanyol, denied it to Mónica Marchante and said that there are still a few months left for the doctors to decide.

"But, according to my information, FC Barcelona has prepared a farewell for him."
