Aguero signs new Atletico deal

31 January 2011 14:00
Sergio Aguero has ended speculation linking him with a move to Tottenham after signing a contract extension with Atletico Madrid. Reports on Sunday night suggested that Tottenham had lodged a club record £38.5million bid for the 22-year-old hitman. But the Argentina forward agreed a two-and-a-half-year extension to his existing deal earlier this month and formally signed the contract at a presentation in Madrid at 1200GMT. The new deal is thought to reduce the buy-out clause in the player's contract but Aguero himself insists he will not be leaving the Vicente Calderon. "I'm staying here because I want to," Aguero told Atletico's official website.
