Sergio Aguero is one of a number of Argentina stars considering their international future in the wake of Lionel Messi’s retirement.
Messi, 29, left football fans shocked when he announced he would no longer be available for Argentina following their Copa America final defeat to Chile.
Argentina have finished runners-up in a major tournament in each of the last three years and Aguero has revealed he is considering following in the footsteps of his captain.
“The likelihood is that Messi is not the only one that will leave the national team,” Aguero told Ole newspaper, via The Daily Mail.
“There are several players like me that are evaluating whether or not to continue.
“One doesn’t want to think about it but at times, there are things that happen and the thought [of retiring] comes into your mind.”
Aguero replaced Gonzalo Higuain with two minutes of normal time remaining in Monday’s final and Higuain is another that is reportedly considering his international future along with Javier Mascherano, Lucas Biglia and Ezequiel Lavezzi.
Aguero has scored 33 goals in 76 appearances for Argentina since making his debut for the national team in 2006.
