Aguero assures Barcelona fans he stays despite Messi’s departure

Despite rumors that Blaugrana's hero was eager to stay put, Barcelona has confirmed their legend, Lionel Messi, will leave the club as a free agent after 17 years leading the Blaugrana’s front line.

It’s been revealed yesterday

 that the Argentine is on the verge of completing a move to the Ligue 1 giants, Paris Saint-Germain.

After reaching the end of his final contract at Manchester City, 

Aguero joined Barca

 on a free transfer earlier this summer to link up with his close friend, Lionel Messi.

However, 

it was rumored

 that the 33-year-old wants to leave the club as his dream of playing alongside Messi at Barcelona vanished.

Rubbishing the claims, Aguero said corresponding the questions: "Don't worry, you have me all year long.

The Argentine added on his social media account

: "All the best in whatever comes my friend. And always with that smile. I love you."

 

Yesterday, 

the Blaugrana revealed the kit numbers

 for their new summer signings, Aguero and Depay.

Memphis is going to be given the No.9 jersey and Martin Braithwaite will be moved to 12. Aguero, who joined Camp Nou to play alongside his compatriot Messi, will take No.19. However, No.10 will be up for grabs as Lionel Messi is going to depart Barcelona.

Riqui Puig is going to fill the No.6 jersey, whereas Ansu Fati is 17.

He will return to action this season, as he had to deal with injury issues, and his old number 22 is now given to Emerson Royal, who is another new recruitment.

Fati’s number 17 is from Francisco Trincao, who has been playing for Wolves on a season-long loan.

The other squad members’ numbers are the same, with players like Antoine Griezmann, Miralem Pjanic, Philippe Coutinho, and Samuel Umtiti still at the club notwithstanding raising many speculations regarding their transfer.
