10 Footballers Who Rejected Chelsea
3. Sergio Aguero
Sergio Aguero is a bonafide Manchester City legend. The club's highest Premier League goalscorer by some distance, Aguero has been one of the most consistently clinical finishers in world football since signing for The Citizens in 2011.
However, Aguero very nearly wore a different shade of blue back in 2009.
Fresh off a successful season at Atletico Madrid, Aguero was earmarked as a potential successor to Didier Drogba at the forefront of Chelsea's attack. Then-boss Carlo Ancelotti moved quickly to sign the young Argentinian, and a fee was even agreed between the two clubs before the deal came grinding to a halt while negotiating personal terms.
The move eventually broke down when Aguero reportedly claimed that he intended on fulfilling his contract in Madrid, only to seemingly change his mind and instead make the move to Manchester less than two years later.
