Man City star Sergio Aguero eyed by Barcelona on free transfer with contract having just SIX-MONTHS left

And that has alerted Barca, who are keen to bring the ex-Atletico Madrid forward back to Spain.

Aguero is still waiting for a new deal offer from City, where he has been for nine years.

He will miss Wednesday’s home clash with Brighton and Sunday’s tie with Crystal Palace because he is self-isolating after being in close contact with someone infected with Covid.

As well as interest from the Nou Camp, Aguero — City’s all-time leading scorer — is also wanted by Mauricio Pochettino, the new boss of Paris Saint-Germain.

City boss Pep Guardiola said: “He’s quarantined. Isolated. The rules, I think, say that after nine or 10 days he will be back.”

Aguero has won four Premier League titles, five EFL Cups and one FA Cup during a trophy-filled spell at the Etihad.

Guardiola last week revealed that the hitman remains 'optimistic and positive' about getting back to his best this season.

And asked yesterday if the Argentine can rediscover his top form, he added: “Hopefully he will, that’s what I wish.
