Aguero denies existence of Messi-related release clause at Barcelona

 

The Argentine has insisted that he remains fully committed to the project he signed up for at Camp Nou despite the departure of his compatriot

Sergio Aguero has denied the existence of a Lionel Messi-related release clause in his contract at Barcelona.

Aguero signed for Barca on a free transfer following his departure from Manchester City in June, committing to a two-year contract at Camp Nou.

It was initially suggested that one of the main reasons the 33-year-old chose to join the Blaugrana was to link up with fellow Argentina international Messi, but he ended up having to bring his 21-year accusations to the club to an end due to their struggles to get below La Liga's salary cap.
