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.
