Manchester City Set to sell star striker Sergio Aguero to Chelsea

Sergio Aguero continues to be linked with a Manchester City exit but why would they sell? Adam Bate looks at a crazy transfer tale and why Aguero's future remains on the agenda.

The news that Chelsea have a "strong and serious interest" in signing Sergio Aguero should hardly come as a surprise.

This is a 29-year-old striker with 122
Premier League goals to his name at a better strike rate than anyone else in the competition's so-called 100 club.

If the champions could pair the Argentine with Eden Hazard, it would be a daunting prospect.

But while Chelsea's willingness to take Aguero to Stamford Bridge is no shock, the ongoing speculation regarding a possible Manchester City exit is the real
curiosity here.

The player is an icon at the Etihad
Stadium, the scorer of the greatest goal in City's history and perhaps the club's greatest ever goalscorer too.

Why on earth would they even consider a sale?
