It's certainly fact that he's asked for a transfer and with his dad met the Atlético people yesterday. It seems he extended his contract in January, until 2014 (from 2012) so it seems someone has tapped him up, or Atlético's failure to deliver success may have got to him. They have asked that offers from other clubs be transmitted to them 'without any conditioning/influence' I just wonde if he's really good in practice or not, being a media darling?
El País extract:
The release of Agüero will end up costing the foreign clubs who have shown an interest €45M, clubs like Juventus and Manchester City. It will be different if Real Madrid, who yesterday signed Castejón, the Espanyol forward, join the chase: they have to pay another 20 million for the IRPF and other taxes. "To Madrid, unlike to other teams, we would never forgive him. But I insist, Agüero will not play at Madrid, even if they pay the clauses, because there exists the player's promise not to do so", insisted recently Gil Marín. However the strategy of Agüero to force his exit has already been used in practice by Beckham and Ronaldo to arrive at the Bernabeu.

Otro caso sería si el Real Madrid, que ayer fichó a Castejón, delantero del Espanyol, se sumara a la puja: debería pagar otros 20 millones por el IRPF y otros impuestos. "Al Madrid, al revés que a otro posible conjunto interesado, no se los perdonaríamos. Pero, insisto, Agüero no jugará en el Madrid, aunque pagase la cláusula, porque existe el compromiso del jugador de no hacerlo", insistía recientemente Gil Marín. La estrategia de Agüero de forzar su salida ya la llevaron a la práctica Beckham o Cristiano para recalar en el Bernabéu
