Atletico Madrid star Sergio Aguero celebrating his goal that opened the scoring against Marseille, a match the Rojiblancos went on to win 2-1.<H4 id=article_related_links_heading> </H4>Atletico Madrid may face a laborious battle in keeping star asset Sergio Aguero at Vicente Calderon as a bid for the player from Chelsea edges closer to the Spanish club's £50 million valuation.

The Stamford Bridge side, under the new management of Carlo Ancelotti, are readying an offer of £38m plus a player - Deco. It is believed the inclusion of the Portuguese playmaker is to compensate for the £12m difference.

Aguero, affectionately nicknamed 'El Kun' due to his likeness to a Japanese cartoon character - Kum Kum - is just one prong of a trident being targeted by Chelsea for summer recruitment.

The club have been relatively inactive in the market thus far, having signed Ross Turnbull, Daniel Sturridge and Yuri Zhirkov; yet Aguero, along with Bayern Munich attacker Franck Ribery and AC Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo, have also been sounded out for potential switches.

Prior to captain John Terry's decision to declare his desire to remain at Stamford Bridge, he requested assurances that the club's ambitions matched his own, to which owner Roman Abramovich implied that Chelsea had been operating in the market, only for their estimations of the players to fall just short of the selling club's valuation. A £100m budget is reportedly the amount that Ancelotti has to play with.

The Blues will face competition for Aguero should negotiations for the highly-rated forward reach an advanced stage, as Manchester United are also keen.

Deco will favour a return to Spain, where he helped sustain the name he made for himself at FC Porto with Catalan outfit Barcelona, as he has struggled to establish himself in Chelsea's line-up.

I have a feeling that'll get turned down!! But we'll see what happens.

If we get sergio they might as well hand the prem title too us. He is the missing link we have everything except someone who can run with the ball.

[diskoviolente 425]

I think Zhirkov, JC and Essien are good ballholders and have decent passing skills

...and yes, Aguero seems to be the missing link, although i think our attackers look real good at the moment...

Atletico Madrid have told Manchester United and Chelsea that £50 million won't be enough to land Sergio Aguero.

The Argentina international is sought-after property and has been linked with Manchester United as Sir Alex Ferguson looks to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

Inter Milan and Chelsea are also thought to be tracking Aguero, but Atletico have maintained that they do not want to sell.

The Primera Liga outfit's president, Enrique Cerezo, has now announced that even a huge bid could not be enough to make the club consider parting with the 21-year-old.

"Perhaps even if an offer for this amount of money (£51m) arrives, we would not accept the sale," Cerezo told Spanish media.

Why?

On loan i meant

[Shane 2,275]

Daily Mail and Tribal Football are hardly reliable links, But we will see what happens. I would LOVE to see Aguero at Chelsea.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

If we were willing to offer amounts like £60 million for players like Torres and Shevchenko in the past, why not do the same now, for a striker who's best years are ahead of him?

[Alee. 182]

Will this mean we'll play a 4-3-3 while Drogba is here (as in until the ACON)

Atletico Madrid Put €60m Price Tag Round Sergio Aguero’s Neck

La Liga side promise it will take an offer in excess of £50 million for them to sell their prized asset...Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has slapped a €50 million price tag on forward Sergio Aguero in an attempt to ward off a host of suitors interested in the young Argentine.

The forward has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United, as boss Sir Alex Ferguson a known admirer.

However, Cerezo has tried to quell such stories by demanding a high price for the 21 year-old.

"Perhaps even if an offer for this amount of money arrives, we would not accept the sale," Cerezo told Spanish media.

Inter and Chelsea have also been linked with a move for Aguero, but both clubs will almost certainly baulk at such a figure.

So we get his neck for €50 million, i wonder what his legs cost. .

FORGET AGUERO....

Let´s get PATO!!!

[TylerCFC 7]

So we get his neck for €50 million, i wonder what his legs cost. .

I believe he has a £40 million release fee. So if Chelsea were to bid £40 million and Aguero was to decide he wanted to come to us then Atletico couldn't do anything.

[Alee. 182]

I dont think so mate, then why would they rate him 50m
