Sergio Aguero Regrets Manchester City Missing Out on Jude Bellingham

Former Barcelona and Manchester City star Sergio Aguero has expressed his regret over Manchester City’s inability to secure the signing of Jude Bellingham. City had been rumored to be pursuing Bellingham, who signaled his desire to leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of the 2022/23 season.

However, Bellingham’s determination to join Real Madrid led to a deal being finalized in June, despite City’s interest. Aguero shared his thoughts on Bellingham’s exceptional start to life in Spain, including his remarkable 13 goals, which included a double in the 2-1 El Clasico victory in Catalonia on October 28.

The former striker hinted at his frustration with City’s inability to convince Bellingham to join the Premier League champions, saying, “It’s a shame Guardiola couldn’t convince him to join Erling Haaland at Man City. Great teams always compete for great players. City has managed to ‘win’ on several occasions, like with Haaland. Sometimes it’s not like that; that’s how the market is. I would have liked to see him at City. Bellingham is on his way to becoming one of the best in the world.” Aguero’s comments underline the competitive nature of the transfer market and the potential opportunities that slip through the cracks.
