Sinnacle Retro – Sergio Aguero Edition
Looking back the prior report way back in November seems to be pretty bang on. Can Understand why Chslea makes this move, they need to get younger if they are to complete at the top of Europe again but Sergio Aguero is going to take a prouding not seen during his time at Atletico Madrid.
Chelsea close to £100m deal to sign Aguero
Intermediaries have put together a £100 million “package” deal to take Argentine international superkid Sergio Agüero to Chelsea in the January transfer window.
The £100 million includes the player’s salary which will be scaled up to reach nearly £250,000-a-week in the final years of the proposed Chelsea playing contract, the £40 million transfer plus near-£10m add-ons related to Chelsea’s success, meaning a near £50 million transfer fee, with added agents’ fees.
Love the creative accounting in this headline. It almost reminds me of when David Beckham signed a “five year $250 million dollar” deal with the LA Galaxy when in reality the Galaxy were paying only $25 million and the rest were in endorsements. The figures are technically right but just blown up to make the story look more important.
I can understand why Chelsea are interested in Sergio Aguero as he is the best player out there not attached to an elite club but have no idea how he fits into the Chelsea lineup for English game for that matter. Then again that is for the coach to worry about, not me. It wouldn’t shock me however if Sergio Aguero had the same impact with Chelsea as Juan Sebastián Verón did.
