Sergio Aguero moved to Camp Nou on a free transfer in the summer following his departure from Manchester City, having spent the previous 10 years of his career at Etihad Stadium.
However, a calf injury saw Sergio Aguero miss the start of the season at Barcelona, and he only ended up making five appearances for the club before a serious heart problem ruled him out of action indefinitely.
Sergio Aguero confirmed his decision to retire rather than take the risk to continue playing in an official press conference on Wednesday, December 15, 2021 in Camp Nou.
Sergio Aguero said;
“This conference is to announce I have decided to stop playing professional football. It is a very difficult moment. The decision I have taken is for my health [and relates to] the problem I had a month-and-a-half ago. I have been in good hands with the medical staff.

“I made the decision 10 days ago after doing everything possible to have some hope of playing on. I am very proud of my career. I always dreamed of a professional career since the first time I touched a ball at five.
“I want to thank Atletico Madrid who took a chance on me when I was 18 and Manchester City, everyone knows how I feel about City and how well they treated me there.
“I will leave with my head held high. I don’t know what awaits me in the next part of my life. But I know I have people who love me. I will always remember the amazing things.”
