Aguero: Juventus also wanted to sign me, but playing in the Premier League had always been my dream

In the summer of 2011, Manchester City signed the 23-year-old Sergio Aguero for £35 million. At the time, Aguero was regarded as one of the most promising young forwards in world football.

Aguero had previously spent five years at Atletico Madrid. Juventus were also one of the clubs pursuing him in the summer of 2011, as the club was preparing for the later stage of legendary player Alessandro Del Piero's career.

Aguero said: "The day I learned Manchester City wanted to sign me, I was with the Argentina national team at the 2011 Copa America. I had already been at Atletico Madrid for five years, and my agent Hernan Reguera called me to tell me that Manchester City were very interested in me."

Aguero said: "Juventus were also very interested, and they were already close to finalizing the deal. At the time, they were preparing to part ways with Del Piero."

Aguero added: "But the fact is that when Manchester City contacted me, I had already made my decision, because I had always liked the English league. Michael Owen was always my idol, I admired him greatly, and I had always dreamed of playing in the Premier League."

Aguero then completed his move to Manchester City. During his 10 years at the club, he became Manchester City's all-time leading scorer and helped the team win five Premier League titles.
