Biography
Sergio Leonel Agüero del Castillo (born 2 June 1988), also known as Kun Agüero, is an Argentine former professional footballer who played as a striker. He is regarded as one of the best strikers of his generation and one of the greatest players in the history of the Premier League. He played for Manchester City from 2011 to 2021 and is the club's all-time top goalscorer, also holding the record for most Premier League hat-tricks, with 12.
Agüero began his career at the Argentine club Independiente where, on 5 July 2003, he became the youngest player to play in the Argentine Primera División at 15 years and 35 days, breaking the 27 year record previously set by future father-in-law Diego Maradona. In 2006, Agüero moved to La Liga club Atlético Madrid in a transfer worth €23 million, establishing himself as one of the world's best young players. At the club, he won the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Super Cup. Agüero signed for Manchester City in 2011 in a transfer for a reported fee of £35 million. He spent 10 years at the club, where he won five Premier League titles, notably scoring a last minute winner in the last league game of his debut season to win the club its first league title since 1968. Further honours with the club include a record six EFL Cups and an FA Cup; he was also part of the club's first UEFA Champions League final.
During his time in England, Agüero was awarded the Player of the Year by the FSF for the best player in the Premier League, won the Premier League Golden Boot, and was included in the PFA Team of the Year twice. He is the second highest non-English goalscorer in the Premier League, with 184 goals. He held the record for the most Premier League goals scored by a player for any single club until it was overtaken by Harry Kane in 2022. In 2021, he joined Barcelona on a free transfer, before retiring from football aged 33 due to heart problems in the same year. He played just four matches for the club, with his only goal coming in the first El Clásico of the 2021–22 season.
