<h1 class="titlestory">Atletico Madrid tell Chelsea Aguero offer has come too late</h1> 17.08.09 | tribalfootball.com Atletico Madrid will not consider any offer from Chelsea this week for striker Sergio Aguero.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is expected to bid £50 million in the next 24 hours for Aguero and Atletico winger Maxi Rodriguez.

But Marca says Atletico will not consider selling the Argentine just 24 hours before the first-leg of their critical Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos. Atletico insiders say if Abramovich had come knocking this time last week, they would have considered it.

Breaks my heart :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

Bollocks!

[ZanSnake 1,211]

I KNEW IT!!

I knew we were waiting to fucking long, well done!

Hopefully we'll get him in January.

[5354 204]

Even if he comes in Janurary, he can't play in CL.

Even if he comes in Janurary, he can't play in CL.

I was just thinking that, it'll be like when Arsenal bought Arshavin last January. They couldn't use him for Europe because he played for Zenit in the Champions League group stages.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Well, it's better to have him without playing in Europe then not having him at all.

For all we know, he could end up at Man Ure in January, so i would rather get him to SB then OT

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I'm quite certain he won't leave Atletico, its quite clear they don't want to sell.

[Alee. 182]

Putting a 42m price tag isnt that clear ..

So many people holding out hope...

Blues' D-Day on £50m Aguero

Chelsea have 24 hours to meet Sergio Aguero's £50million get-out clause at Atletico Madrid. </h2> The Argie star is set to face Panathinaikos in tomorrow's Champions League qualifier unless the Blues increase their £42m bid.

If Aguero plays, he will be cup-tied for Chelsea's own European campaign this season - scuppering the deal.

Atletico insist they do not want to let the striker go.

And the Spanish club fear a backlash from their fans if they sell Aguero, 21, so close to the start of the season.

Missing out on anothermajor summer target would be a huge blow for Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti.

He was pipped by Real Madrid in the race to sign Kaka. And the Blues' bid to land Bayern Munich ace Franck Ribery has also hit the buffers.

Chelsea given 24 hours to come up with £50m for Aguero

Chelsea have been given 24 hours to meet the £50million get-out clause for Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero.

The Spanish club are preparing for a Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos on Wednesday and if no deal is done, Aguero will play meaning he will be ineligible to play for the Blues in Europe, suggesting a deal would be extremely unlikely.

Atletico will be loathe to lose the Argentine striker but Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti would hate to miss out on another potential target.

Chelsea bid nearly 50 million euros for Aguero -report

MADRID (AFP) – Chelsea have offered Spanish side Atletico Madrid nearly 50 million euros for their Argentine international striker Sergio Aguero, a newspaper reported Saturday.

The English Premiership side would be willing to pay Atletico up to 57 million euros if the deal included another Argentine player, Maxi Rodriguez, sports daily Marca said.

Atletico has consistently said that it does not want to let Aguero go.

The 21-year-old son-in-law of Argentina manager Diego Maradona has a recision clause in his contract with Atletico worth 60 million euros.

He joined Atletico in 2006 from Argentine side Independiente and is under contract with the Spanish team until 2012.

Aguero scored in Argentina's 3-2 friendly victory over Russia on Wednesday.

If he plays for Atletico during the club's Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos next week he will not be able to play in a European competition for any other side this season.

Decision time as Chelsea weigh-up Sergio Aguero move

Ancelotti looks set to add one more player to his squad before the transfer window closes on Aug 31 and the the Athletico Madrid striker looks the most likely candidate.

Aguero will face Panathinaikos in Wednesday's Champions League qualifier unless Chelsea increase their £42m bid, according to the Sun.

If Aguero plays, the Argentine will be cup-tied for Chelsea's own European campaign this season.

Atletico are likely to turn down the offer, which would smash the current British transfer record of £32 million paid by Manchester City for Robinho last summer, and hold out for the full £50m buy-out clause in Aguero's contract.

Ancelotti has not ruled out the possibility of bringing one more new face to Stamford Bridge.

"The market finishes on August 31 and if there is some possibility to improve the squad we can do it," he said.
