Barcelona have signed Sergio Kun Aguero on a deal until 2023, the Catalan giants announced yesterday.
In a statement, Barca said that Aguero, who arrives after a decade at Manchester City, has a buy-out clause “set at 100 million euros ($122 million).”
Aguero’s signing for Barca comes two days after he missed out on the Champions League with City after losing this season’s final to Chelsea.
The 32-year-old leaves City as their all-time record goal scorer with 260 goals, and with the most goals scored for a single club in Premier League history – 184 goals in 275 appearances.
Aguero returns to Spain after spending five years with Atletico Madrid between 2006 and 2011, and the club will hope his arrival in Catalonia helps to convince his compatriot Lionel Messi to stay.
Similarly, Barcelona have completed the signing of Eric Garcia on a free transfer from Manchester City, the club announced on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old has signed a contract until 2026.
His buyout clause has been fixed at €400 million, with an official presentation planned for later in today.
He first joined Barcelona’s La Masia academy in 2008 and came through the club’s youth system.
However, he left for City in 2017, where he made 35 appearances for the first team under Pep Guardiola.
Garcia only played 12 games this season, after informing City last summer that he will not renew his contract.
