Chelsea want Sergio Aguero from Man City in big-money move as Pep Guardiola gives the green light for shock deal
Stunning claims coming from Spain allege that Antonio Conte has made Argentina ace his top striker target this summer
CHELSEA are reportedly chasing a sensational deal for Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero.
And AS newspaper journalist Manu Sainz claims Pep Guardiola has already given the green light to the shock move this summer.
Chelsea are searching far and wide for a new striker after Antonio Conte dumped Diego Costa by text.
The Blues were gazumped by Manchester United in the race for Romelu Lukaku and are finding things tough in their pursuit of Alvaro Morata.
Italy international Andrea Belotti has also been linked with Chelsea, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be available for a whopping £70m.
However, Sainz reckons that Conte is targeting Aguero instead, with the Argentine arguably the best forward in the Premier League.
Aguero has scored an incredible 169 times in just 253 appearances during six years at City.
And his clinical finishing, combined with the skills of Eden Hazard, Pedro and Willian, could be just what Chelsea need to successfully defend their title.
Interestingly, it’s added that Conte won’t even face any resistance in his pursuit of the Argentina international.
Guardiola, who famously dropped Aguero on several occasions last season, appears to have made Gabriel Jesus his first-choice striker.
And the tactician is allegedly more than happy for Chelsea to take Aguero off his hands, having already given his blessing to the proposed deal.
