Why Aguero rejected Messi's No. 10 shirt

Meanwhile, Briefly News had earlier reported that Sergio Aguero who is an Argentine footballer has explained that he rejected to pick Lionel Messi's jersey number 10 at Barcelona because of the respect he has for the now Paris Saint-Germain star.

The former Manchester City striker joined Barcelona with the hopes that he would play with Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp, but the six-time Ballon d'Or winner left for PSG.

Lionel Messi never wanted to leave Barcelona and the Argentine even accepted a paycut for him to remain at the Nou Camp, but Barcelona's financial issues made it difficult to register him.

Even Sergio Aguero was recently registered by Barcelona as the club's chiefs continue their fight to overcome their financial ordeal.
