Sergio Aguero will only sign a two-year deal with Barcelona if close friend Lionel Messi confirms he is staying at the Nou Camp, reports in Spain claim.

Manchester City’s outgoing record scorer Aguero, 32, is already said to have received a draft contract from Barca.

But AS say the 32-year-old will not formalise his move unless he knows one-club legend and Argentina team-mate Messi has ‘committed his future’.

City and Aguero announced a month ago he would leave the Etihad in the summer on a free transfer.
