Sergio Agüero: Lionel Messi kept Barcelona shirt in the hotel hoping to pose for renewal photo

Sergio Agüero has revealed that Lionel Messi kept his FC Barcelona shirt at his hotel during his time with Argentina, hoping to take a picture with it to announce his renewal with his boyhood club.

Of course, that renewal never came. He signed with Paris Saint-Germain instead after being informed his lifelong club was not able to afford him.

Agüero had signed for Barcelona and thus finally united with his friend and compatriot at club level... or so it seemed.

He has revealed that Messi excited about signing his new deal and wanted to take a picture to commemorate it as soon as possible.
