Rivaldo explains what Aguero offers for Barcelona

The former FC Barcelona star has urged Koeman to consider signing Aguero as it is a ‘great opportunity’ for the club.

Sergio Aguero’s proven quality, availability as a free agent, and friendship with Lionel Messi would be an asset for Barcelona, says Rivaldo.

Aguero will end a decade-long stay at Manchester City once his contract expires in the summer. Reports have linked several clubs to him already, including Premier League sides Arsenal and Chelsea.

But Barcelona are one of the alleged frontrunners for the 32-year-old Argentinian’s signature and Rivaldo believes he would be a great catch for the club.

“Signing Aguero on a free transfer could be a coup for Barcelona,” the Brazilian World Cup winner told Betfair.

“He has a good relationship with Lionel Messi and, with Barca missing Luis Suarez this season, Aguero would probably go straight into the starting 11. His arrival could also new club president Joan Laporta persuade Messi to stay at the club.

“Apparently, Ronald Koeman disagrees with a potential move to sign Aguero because he is more focused on renewing Barca’s squad by signing younger players it’s his priority. But this would be a great opportunity to reinforce the attack without spending too much money.

“Koeman should remember he only has one year left on his contract, so if he doesn’t win titles between now and the end of next season, it’s probably because he won’t have time to complete his project.”
