Hands off! Atletico Madrid warn Manchester United and Chelsea off £52m ace Sergio Aguero
Atletico Madrid have warned Manchester United that star forward Sergio Aguero will be going nowhere this summer.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has told fans he may not make many further additions to his squad this summer after the arrivals of Chris Smalling and Javier Hernandez.
But reports have suggested that, despite the levels of debt the club is burdened with, United are ready to follow up their long-standing interest in Aguero and meet the staggering £52million release clause in his Atletico contract.

However Atletico president Enrique Cerezo has issued a hands-off warning, telling potential bidders that the duo who inspired the club to Europa League glory this season - striker Diego Forlan and Aguero - "will not go."
Cerezo, speaking to Spanish daily newspaper AS, added: 'We are not aware of any offer from Manchester United and it is typical of the rumour mill in England. Kun (Aguero) is now concentrated on giving his maximum at the World Cup.'

Chelsea and Real Madrid have also been linked to Argentina star Aguero, 21.
Meanwhile, Atletico and United could also clash over Ajax striker Luis Suarez. AS also reports that the Spaniards are lining up a move for the United target, who has bagged 41 goals for the Dutch club this season and will line up alongside Forlan for Uruguay at the World Cup.

The article like more on Man Utd than Chelsea.
They say Augero has agreed to join Chelsea already with Chelsea having the first option, not sure true or not...

Is he always worth all the hype during transfer season?
Idk, but every time i read up on Atletico, the news is usually more on Forlan than Aguero.
