Aguero to Return to Football With Ecuadorian Club Barcelona SC

• Sergio Aguero retired in 2021 due to heart problems just months after his Barcelona move
• The Argentine joined the La Liga giants after a trophy-laden decade with Manchester City
• Aguero is now set to return to football with Barcelona de Guayaquil at the end of January

Sergio Aguero left Manchester City after the club lost the 2021 UEFA Champions League to Chelsea.

He then joined La Liga giants Barcelona with the hope of playing alongside Lionel Messi, who left the club before they could share the field.

Aguero's illustrious career ended a few months into his second stint in La Liga, due to heart problems which emanated from breathlessness suffered during a game against Alaves.

The striker was diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia after a series of tests and was forced to retire, as reported by Marca.
