Atletico Madrid stun Europe with £15M Aguero swoop

Atletico Madrid have pulled off a stunning transfer coup in the signing of Independiente striker Sergio Aguero.

The 17 year-old Argentine superkid is set to move to Madrid after Atletico and Independiente agreed a £15 million deal yesterday. Only the method of payment needs to be settled.
The man behind the whirlwind deal, which has left Europe's biggest clubs in it's wake, is Atletico director Miguel Angel Gil Marín, who has been in Argentina this week for negotiations.
Aguero has been tabled an eight-year contract and Madrid radio reports last night stated the deal is all but done.
