Former Barcelona star Sergio Aguero to make a return to football this year

Aguero will feature for Barcelona de Guayaquil in their annual Noche Amarilla friendly game.

Former Barcelona star Sergio Aguero is making a surprising return to football in 2023. We all knew the story of this Argentine superstar who made a move to Barcelona from Man City and retired in his debut season.

The former Barcelona forward was forced to retire in 2021, following medical advice, just five games into his Camp Nou career.

He was withdrawn in Barca’s clash with Alaves in October 2021, after complaining of chest discomfort and breathing issues. He opted to call time on his incredible career earlier than expected, less than six months after signing for the Catalan Giants.

Aguero went to Qatar to cheer his nation and was part of Argentina’s celebration of winning the World Cup. The 34-year-old has hinted at a possible return to the pitch.

The 34-year-old has told fans he will feature for Ecuadorian side Barcelona de Guayaquil in their annual Noche Amarilla friendly game.

Noche Amarilla is a traditional friendly game played against different sides with this year’s tie featuring Orense on January 28.

“I’ve had check-ups from the cardiologist, I am very well and I have already started training, so I will be able to play in the Noche Amarilla.

“I hope to have fun and feel the pitch again.”
