The document released to Barca members this week says Aguero has presented legal papers stating claim to a sum of €3million (£2.5m; $3.3m) he believes the club owes him. The document says Barca are now awaiting communication or instruction from a local court that deals with labour disputes on whether the case will be taken up.

Sergio Agüero filed a lawsuit against Barcelona for €3 million ($3.2m) over money owed as part of his 2021 contract termination, an official report has revealed.

A close friend of Lionel Messi, who made five appearances for Barcelona in 2021, has taken the club to court seeking $3.2 million in compensation over unpaid salary.
