Sergio Aguero has confirmed his retirement from football during a press conference held in Barcelona today.
According to reports, the 33-year-old was taken to hospital after experiencing chest pains and breathing difficulties during Barcelona’s 1-1 draw with Alaves in October and was subsequently ruled out of action for three months following a cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis.
He has now decided to call time on his extraordinarily successful and storied career.
City Chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, sent a special message to Sergio to mark the Argentine’s retirement, saying Sergio is simply the most ruthless striker in the history of the Premier League.
He added that it is extraordinary that his statistics, more reflective of two careers, are in fact those of a player whose time in the game was cut short.
One of the most decorated and respected footballers to wear a City shirt, Aguero scored a remarkable 260 goals in 390 games, making him the Club’s greatest-ever goalscorer.
