The Argentine signed with the Barcelona for the next two seasons until 2023, official networks reported.

Sergio 'Kun' Agüero signed with Barcelona for the next two seasons until June 2023, the Catalan club announced on Monday.

The Argentine "will sign a contract until the end of the 2022/23 season and will have a buyout clause of 100 million euros (122 million dollars)," after announcing his departure from Manchester City.

In this way, the azulgrana squad confirms the rumors that pointed to him as the likely destination of the 'Kun', after his announcement on March 29 where he announced that he would only go until the end of the season with City, marking the end of an era.

He returns to the Spanish league where he already was between 2006 and 2011 with Atlético de Madrid, where he arrived from Independiente. The signing could be favorable for the culés to retain Lionel Messi, who has not yet renewed his contract that ends on June 30.

However, President Joan Laporta considered that the negotiations are going well. "The new contract with Messi is going well, but it is not done yet and we have to keep working to make it happen," he said on Friday.
