Sergio Aguero arrives in Barcelona for medical

Sergio Aguero arrived in Barcelona this Sunday, having flown from Porto following Manchester City’s defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League final at the Estadio do Dragao.

News of Aguero’s touchdown in Barcelona has been revealed by Argentine journalist Vero Brunati, who confirmed that the City striker is set to undergo a comprehensive medical examination on Monday at the Hospital de Barcelona, a mandatory step before Barça can give its final ok to the operation.

The Camp Nou outfit is taking extreme caution given the serious problems Aguero has had with his left knee over the past year, for which the 32-year-old has already undergone surgery.
