According to journalist Gerard Romero on his Twich channel Jijantes and as ARA has been able to confirm, Sergio Kun Agüero has decided to retire from professional football due to heart problems. The Argentine striker is preparing a farewell press conference to explain this decision which he was forced to face a few months after signing for Barça. The sequence of events has caused some discomfort at the Barça club, as the Catalan club’s technical department does not understand how the footballer’s heart problems were not detected in the medical examinations prior to his signing.
This information comes two weeks after Barça announced that Kun Agüero had undergone a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure by specialist Josep Brugada. The initial forecast was that the procedure would last three months and the effectiveness of the treatment would be assessed to determine its recovery process. Finally, the exams with Dr. Brugada have led the Argentine striker to have to end his career as a professional. Kun’s arrival in Barcelona has been hampered by injuries from the start. First it couldn’t be released until the middle of last month due to a tendon injury to the inner twin of the right leg, and now, because of these heart problems, it sees its career truncated.
Heart problems were triggered when just over two weeks ago the club reported that the Argentine had suffered an episode of “chest discomfort” and explained, in this way, the reasons why he had to leave the duel of League against Alabès in the first half and be transferred by ambulance to Barcelona Hospital. ARA had already reported that Agüero, who had to be replaced in the match against the Basque team in the 39th minute of the match with his hand on his neck, face of concern and difficulty breathing normally, suffered an episode of cardiac arrhythmia. Catalunya Ràdio, last week, had already reported that the former Manchester City and Atlético de Madrid striker, among others, would have to retire from football due to his heart disease. The Argentine has barely been able to play four games wearing the Barça shirt, in which he has scored a goal, in the classic, against Real Madrid.
