Aguero makes joke about joining Lionel Messi in Miami following Manchester City's Champions League win
Aguero joked following Manchester City's win over Inter that he would be heading to Miami to join his close friend Lionel Messi. The Argentine icon is moving to Inter Miami when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of this month.
Messi's Argentine compatriot spoke of his proudness watching the Cityzens finally claim the Champions League. He told BT Sport:
"First I am so happy because, for me, I love City. That moment, the last Champions League we lose, I am so happy that finally, it is Man City’s."
Aguero then joked that he would be leaving Istanbul and heading to Miami with the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner:
"I'm going to Miami now with Messi!"
Messi's move to Miami has stunned the football world as it looked likely he would be rejoining Barcelona. However, the iconic forward had doubts about the situation at Camp Nou amid their financial complications.
The legendary attacker will be joining the Herons in the MLS and will do so as a two-time Ligue 1 champion. He scored 21 goals and provided 20 assists in 41 games across competitions this season for the Parisians.
