Sergio Aguero will officially announce his retirement as a professional football player on Wednesday, Emilio Pérez de Rozas claims radio marca. The Spanish journalist says that Barcelona has already prepared a ceremony where the end of the professional career of the Argentine attacker will be announced. It was reported a month ago that Aguero was forced to end his career.

Agüero was replaced on October 30 in the home game against Deportivo Alavés (1-1) just before half-time. The attacker grabbed his chest and neck in the 41st minute while lying on the field, and appeared to have breathing problems. He didn’t want to get on the stretcher and quietly walked off the field. After an examination in the dressing room by the Barcelona medical staff, it was decided to take the attacker to hospital. The second half in the Camp Nou had already started and television cameras from LaTdT recorded how he was transported from the stadium to the hospital.

He underwent a heart examination a day later, the results of which Barcelona released. “Sergio Agüero should be subjected to a diagnostic and therapeutic treatment carried out by Dr. Joseph Brugada. He is therefore not available for the next three months. Within that period, the effectiveness of the treatment must be determined to determine his recovery process,” Barcelona said in an official statement. As a teenager, Agüero already suffered from cardiac arrhythmias, but later did not suffer from it anymore.

Aguero responded on November 12 to the rumors of the possible termination of his football career, which had already appeared in the Spanish press at the time. “In response to the rumours, I can tell you that I am following all instructions given to me by the doctors at the club,” the Argentine wrote on Twitter. “I’m undergoing tests and treatment and in 90 days we’ll watch the progression. Always stay positive!”

At the end of November, however, the journalists Fabrizio Romano and Gerard Romero and former teammate Samir Nasri came with the news that Aguero must stop immediately. Barcelona would now therefore plan to make this official next Wednesday. “According to my information, Barcelona has prepared its farewell,” claims Perez de Rozas. For the time being, Barcelona has not officially communicated anything about this.
