According to 442, Aguero recalled that Juventus were also close to signing him, but he ultimately chose to join Manchester City because he had always dreamed of playing in the Premier League.
In the summer of 2011, Manchester City signed 23-year-old Sergio Aguero for £35 million. At the time, Aguero was considered one of the most promising young strikers in world football.
Aguero had previously played for Atletico Madrid for five years. Juventus was also one of the teams that pursued him in the summer of 2011, when Juventus was preparing to see club legend Alessandro Del Piero's career come to an end.
Aguero said: "I was playing for Argentina in the 2011 Copa America when I learned that Manchester City wanted to sign me. I had been playing for Atletico Madrid for 5 years, and my agent Hernán Reguera called to tell me that Manchester City was very interested in me."
Aguero said, "Juventus were also very interested and were close to finalizing the deal. At the time, they were preparing to part ways with Del Piero."
Aguero said: "But the truth is, when Manchester City contacted me, I had already made my decision because I have always loved the English league. Michael Owen has always been my idol, I admire him, and I have always dreamed of playing in the Premier League."
Aguero subsequently completed his move to Manchester City. During his 10 years at Manchester City, he became the club's all-time top scorer and helped the team win five Premier League titles.
