Sergio Aguero wants Lionel Messi to join star-studded competition after Inter Miami

Sergio Aguero wants Lionel Messi's career to eventually take him to a reunion in Gerard Pique's Kings League after his stint at Inter Miami is done.

The striking pair are close friends having represented their country Argentina together for many years, having first encountered each other as youth players at a training camp back in 2005. The future seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi was preparing for the South American Under-20s championship, while his compatriot was representing the age group below and the duo soon hit it off.

They then went on to win gold at the Olympics in 2008 together, making a staggering 276 appearances for the nation during their respective careers. Fast forward nearly a couple of decades and the forwards remain as closely bonded as ever, with the former Manchester City legend Aguero having famously joined his countrymen on the pitch following Argentina's World Cup triumph in 2022.
