Sergio Aguero says he will probably never play alongside close friend Lionel Messi at club level as he is staying at Manchester City and his compatriot will never leave Barcelona.
Argentine Aguero also explained that he has suffered from a knee injury since 2013 but that surgery has left him “feeling like new” ahead of the World Cup.
“Before there were possibilities but we are now at an age where Leo is going to end up being at Barcelona and for now, I will end up staying at City.
Aguero scored 21 goals for City in the Premier League this season despite it being cut short after he aggravated an injury to his right knee.
On his fitness for the upcoming tournament, Aguero added: “I am fit, and I will arrive more rested than many others.”
