Ex-Argentina international Aguero savoured Premier League title glory alongside Balotelli during their time together at Manchester City in 2012.

Aguero has been reunited with Balotelli during a stream that saw City claim another Premier League title in 2024, with the record books being rewritten by Pep Guardiola’s side during an era of domestic dominance.
WHAT AGUERO SAID
During that broadcast, mercurial Italian frontman Balotelli told his former team-mate when discussing Argentine football: “I prefer Boca to River. My dream is to play in La Bombonera.” Aguero immediately got on the phone to Boca supremo Riquelme, saying in a voice note: “Hello, Romi. Well, I'm watching City vs West Ham with Mario Balotelli and I’m here to tell you that his dream is to play for Boca. So now the ball is in your court. In June he is a free agent.”

Balotelli is currently on the books of Adana Demirspor, but will see his contract in Turkey expire this summer. He may be offered the opportunity to head for South America at 33 years of age, with Boca having shown when snapping up Edinson Cavani that they are prepared to put faith in veteran goal-scorers.
