Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez says he
wouldn't mind if the club's former talisman Sergio
Aguero were to leave Manchester City for Real
Madrid.

international during his time at Atletico between
2006 and 2011, but the Vicente Calderon side
refused to sell their star player to their arch-rivals
He ultimately joined City instead, but a number of
reports have now suggested Madrid are back in fo
Aguero, though Saul wouldn't have any issue with
the striker moving to the Bernabeu.
"Aguero to Madrid? I don't mind if he were to join
Madrid now," Saul told Goal .
The midfielder, 21, then went on to voice his
delight with Atletico's development under Diego
Simeone in recent years, having won La Liga in
2013/14 and finished third this time around.
"What Atletico have achieved is simply incredible.
Not too long ago, Atletico were still playing in the
second tier.
"The club is healthy again now, growing on the
pitch and Europe fears us because of our playing
style and attitude.
"We have had a great season and the team
deserves a 10 for its performances."
The Spain Under-21 international also briefly
discussed his future and says he has no interest i
leaving the club after breaking into the first team
this season.
"I will stay at Atletico, there is no doubt about tha
"I just signed a new deal with Atleti. I have always
wanted to be at this club."
Saul signed a long-term five-year deal in
May which ties him to the club until the summer
2020.
