Sergio Aguero makes classy financial gesture to Spanish club Barcelona after retirement

Earlier, Sportsbrief reported how Sergio Aguero made an incredible gesture after recently announcing his retirement from football as it was disclosed that the Argentine was willing to forego the final year of his contract with Barcelona.

Aguero announced that he would not be playing football anymore on Wednesday, December 15 in an emotional press conference at the Nou Camp, explaining that his decision was prompted by the need to prioritise his health.

A worrying heart condition that was diagnosed in October meant Aguero could not play in the levels he used to and he thus leaves Barcelona having made a mere five appearances.
