Sergio Aguero has denied reports that he will train with Argentine club Independiente.
The former Argentine striker retired from football in December 2021 while at Barcelona at the age of 33 due to a heart condition.

“It's totally a lie, I'm not going to train with Independiente,” Agüero said.
“Sometimes things are invented. I reiterate that the cardiologist said that I am fine, that it is important that I be in good health. But to return to training at the First Division level I would need to go through many tests.”
Agüero, Manchester City's all-time leading scorer, began his career as a teenager at Independiente.
Agüero recently said on Twitch that he would have to “consult with his cardiologist” if Independiente coach Carlos Tevez called him up.
Tevez responded that his team would welcome Agüero with open arms.
“Who doesn't want to have Kun? First me as a teammate and now as a coach,” Tevez said about his former teammate at Manchester City and Argentina.
“Even if it's 10 or 15 minutes.”
