Madrid Made Agüero Move Last Week

Real Madrid saw a cheeky bid for Sergio Agüero turned down by neighbours Atlético de Madrid for Sergio Agüero last week as they look to make one more signing before the transfer window closes.

Los Merengues' quest to add another star name to their ranks this summer reached desperate measures when they made an enuiry about the Argentinian, according to Sport.

Aüero has vowed never to play for Madrid due to their rivalry with Atlético and he is said to have been pleased that the club did not even entertain the offer.

The report states that Madrid were told that the player was not for sale by Atleti president Enrique Cerezo and announced that they could match his buy.out clause of €55m.

That is unlikely given Agüero's reluctance to move and Madrid not wanting to become embroiled in another transfer saga after a summer of failed attempts to sign new players.

Robinho added to the sense of a things having gone wrong at the club this summer due to the focus placed on chasing Cristiano Ronaldo when he stated that he wants to leave at a press conference.

Madrid now want to sell him to Chelsea after signing a replacement and they reported to be making enquiries about players with Valencia's Joaquín still very much on the agenda.

David Villa signed a new contract with Valencia as Madrid made their interest in him known and even news that Bernd Schuster still think he could join will not see a move go through.
