Sergio Aguero has revealed he has offers on the table should he want to make a sensational footballing comeback.
Aguero was forced to retire from football in December 2021 due to a heart condition which was uncovered after he
experienced chest pains and breathing difficulties during a game against Alaves for Barcelona.
He was substituted after 41 minutes and advised to hang up his boots on the advice of doctors. But the former Argentina star has been playing for his own team, Kunisports, in Gerard Pique's seven-a-side Kings League.

And in the early hours of Sunday morning, he made an emotional return to the pitch for Barcelona SC in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Aguero was a guest player in the annual 2023 Noche Amarilla fixture, coming on as a substitute and playing 18 minutes as the Ecuadorian outfit ran out 1-0 winners.
Manchester City's record goalscorer has promised to play in the game next year but he is also hopeful of making a more permanent return.
The 34-year-old says he would need to up his fitness levels but has a number of potential suitors - though he is hopeful of playing for boyhood club Independiente again.
"I have to get physically fit and if I hold out for six months…let’s wait, Aguero told BSC TV, as per The Mirror.
"There are several clubs that want me. If I'm well, I would play for the Reds, clearly. At least I would have a farewell game.”
Aguero made his debut for Independiente as a 15-year-old back in 2003 and became the youngest player in the Argentina first division.
He got the all-clear from the cardiologist to make the cameo appearance at the weekend, though he did receive a warning from best friend Lionel Messi about his drinking during Argentina's World Cup celebrations.
“I drank a lot but I didn’t eat," Aguero said as per TyC Sports.
"We were world champions. If something were to happen to me, let it be there.
“Leo [Messi] got angry and told me ‘stop’. How [do I] stop? We are world champions, so happy.”
