Sergio Aguero has allayed any fears among Barcelona fans that he will be leaving the club just over two months after joining following the bombshell news of Lionel Messi‘s exit.
Messi’s departure has rocked crisis club Barcelona – who are in the midst of a financial mess – even further with the club failing to extend his illustrious stay with his contract having expired at the start of last month.
And recent reports from Beteve’s ‘La Porteria’ programme claimed that Aguero had told his laywers to find a way out of his Barcelona contract, following the departure of his close friend and compatriot Messi.

Aguero moved to Barcelona on a free transfer from Manchester City at the end of May on a two-year deal, and made no secret that he joined the club ahead of several other European giants because he wanted to play alongside Messi.
But the Argentine striker – who was said to be incensed that Messi has left after he was promised that they would play together – has quickly put to rest any concerns Barcelona supporters may have.
When asked by worried fans – who stopped him while he was driving in a video published on social media by a reporter who covers Barcelona – about his future, Aguero replied: ‘You’ll have me all year long, don’t worry.’
After moving to the Nou Camp earlier this summer, Aguero spoke of his great desire to play alongside the six-time Ballon d’Or winner.
‘Of course I hope to play with Lionel. I know him so well, we’re good friends.
‘What happens with Leo is a decision that he and the club will make. It is a pride to play with him. I’ve played with him in the national team.’
Messi’s departure has spun the summer transfer window into chaos, and PSG have quickly made their move – with the Argentine reportedly on the brink of moving to the French capital, where he will be reunited with former Barcelona team-mate Neymar.

Meanwhile, Messi will make an emotional public address to Barcelona supporters from the Nou Camp on Sunday morning to put his side across regarding the dramatic end to his remarkable 21 years at the club.
