Catalan sports weekly paper Gol claims that a growing part of the Barcelona board is considering the transfer of Atlético Madrid forward and Argentinian international Sergio "Kun" Agüero (20).
With all clubs asking high transfer fees for every player Barcelona is interested in, some board members think it's then better to pay big for a sure value like Agüero. The Argentinian, whose contract with Atlético Madrid expires in 2014, has a buyout clause of 55 million euro° (read more here).
Besides football reasons, the election climate with a vote of no confidence and possible presidential elections coming up could be an extra reason to bring in a star player like Agüero. If the opinion polls would appear to be negative for the current board, the pressure to transfer the Argentinian striker could increase.
The paper claims that the player would like to join his compatriot Lionel Messi in Barcelona. If Barcelona can come to an agreement with Atlético or pays the buyout clause, Agüero would be delighted to leave his club and sign for Barcelona.
