Former Manchester City and Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero admits that he is desperate to return to football after being forced to retire last year on health grounds.

Former Manchester City and Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero has admitted that he is considering a return to football in the future.

The Argentine's fifth appearance for Barca following his summer arrival in 2021 saw him suffer breathing difficulties against Alaves, and he was later diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia.

Aguero hung up his boots on the advice of doctors at the age of 33, but the former striker has admitted that he is pining for a return to the training pitches and could play professionally again.

Speaking to TYC Sports, Aguero said: "Yesterday, it crossed my mind that I could play again. Inter Miami called me but I refused. In two years? Let's see.

"The doctors told me that I have to spend five or six months without activity, but I already want to train again!"

Aguero's only goal for Barcelona came in a 2-1 El Clasico defeat to Real Madrid back in October, and he left Man City as the club's all-time record goalscorer with 260 strikes in 390 matches.

Despite Aguero's comments, the South American was recently forced to deny reports claiming that he was in line for a return to former youth club Independiente.
