During the official presentation of Sergio Aguero, Joan Laporta\u2019s first signing in his second presidential tenure at Barcelona, the president and his fellow board members spoke highly of their new addition from Manchester City, and also commented on coach Ronald Koeman.<\/p>\n
With a question mark still hovering over the Dutch manager\u2019s future and talks still ongoing, Laporta indicated that the negotiations are progressing steadily after evaluating his first season in charge and that there would be a decision on Koeman\u2019s future soon.<\/p>\n
This is what was said during Sergio Aguero’s announcement ceremony.<\/p>\n
Laporta was the first to speak, welcoming the former Manchester City all-time topscorer: \u201cSergio, welcome to FC Barcelona. It makes us proud to have you here. You\u2019ve always been a player that Bar\u00e7a have admired, because of your tremendous qualities. You have the style to fit in here. We\u2019re excited.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a desired player who wanted to come to Bar\u00e7a. We have signed a quality player. The fans will recognize how great of a player he is right from the beginning. \u201cWe wanted to finalize the signing before the Copa Am\u00e9rica because we didn\u2019t want him to escape. He\u2019s a very skilled striker, and there was a risk if we didn\u2019t finalize his signing now,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Laporta then hinted that more would be signed soon, saying: \u201cThe signing of Ag\u00fcero is because he\u2019s an exceptional player. This is the first of one of the signings that you are going to learn about during this month of June.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then touched on Ronald Koeman: \u201cWe have told Koeman that we were going to sign Kun Ag\u00fcero and that is because any coach in the world would want to have Kun in his ranks.\u201d<\/p>\n
