In case there was any doubt, striker Sergio “Kun” Agüero told reporters on Wednesday he wants to leave Atlético de Madrid.

Agüero is in Argentina for the Copa America with the host country. He scored twice in Argentina’s 3-0 win over Costa Rica to advance to the next round.

The striker told reporters that his agent was handling negotiations and that he was uncertain where his future lay, but one thing was clear: Agüero does not want to stay at the Vincente Calderon stadium in Madrid.

Agüero also alluded that a clásico match between Real Madrid (one of the clubs interested in signing the striker) and Argentina teammate Lionel Messi’s Barcelona would be interesting.

Sergio Aguero Scores 2 In Argentina Win Over Costa Rica

Sergio “Kun” Aguero scored two goals and Angel Di Maria scored one to give Argentina a 3-0 win over Costa Rica on Monday.

Until now, Argentina has had a lackluster performance in the Copa America, and Lionel Messi – in particular – has been struggling to find the back of the net.

For Monday’s match, coach Sergio Batista made several changes to the starting lineup in an effort to turn his team’s performance around. Fernando Gago, Di Maria, Aguero and Gonzalo Higuain came on for Ever Banega, Esteban Cambiasso, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Carlos Tevez.

Last night’s win was the first for Argentina in this year’s tournament and sends them to the next round with Group A leader Colombia. Costa Rica will have to wait until the end of the group phase to see if they will advance as one of two third-place teams.
