Ridiculous Rumours: Real Madrid and Barcelona Sign Ronaldo and Aguero
Well, if reports published on elconfidencial.com are to be trusted, then Spanish champions and European powerhouse Real Madrid have signed Sergio Aguero from Atletico Madrid.
Or at least, they have reached an agreement. It has emerged that Real and Atletico have agreed on a deal with Real to pay their crosstown rivals a massive 60 million euros, the buy-out clause of the 20-year old Argentine international striker, and that the player shall make the switch in the summer.
Earlier Real were reported to have made a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ with Manchester United for the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo and now they seem to have signed the heir apparent of Diego Armando Maradona. And while we’re at it, a few days ago Barcelona were linked in a similar agreement with Atletico Madrid’s star forward.
Toss the whole lot of them in the bin. Neither player’s going anywhere in January. Well done Real though, for stirring up the most imaginative of rumours completely forgetting that both players have stated repeatedly in recent months that they want to stay at Manchester United and Atletico Madrid respectively for longer than an year at least.
Madrid – please stop these dirty tactics and for once be honest and maintain the honour of the biggest and most successful club in the world.

You do know that elconfidencial.com and El Mundo Deportivo are both Pro-Barcelona publications right? So your notion that Real Madrid started these rumors is just beyond ridiculous.

Well, I wouldn’t say that Subhankar is wrong even if elconfidencial and El mundo are pro-Barcelona. I think Real Madrid have this notion that if they come out and say that they’ve agreed to sign certain players whether or not it’s true, it would unsettle said players and work to Real’s advantage.
Think about it. We all know that Marca are Real’s mouthpiece and so for Marca to come out with a headline as ridiculous as Real coming to an agreement with United at such an early stage of the season for a player we weren’t going to allow to leave just 4 months prior would massively affect any shreds of integrity that paper has. Especially after the paper spent the majority of the last transfer window claiming that Ronaldo would be a Real Madrid player before the first ball was kicked at the start of this season.
So Real instead give the “news” to a pro-Barcelona paper who would obviously report it because it would give them an edge over Marca as far as sales goes and It works for Real because they still get their “news” out there.
