Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu denies Lionel Messi has pushed him to buy Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero.
Messi and Aguero are good friends and it's been claimed the former has urged Bartomeu to sign El Kun.
"Messi has never asked for us to sign him," said the president.
"Messi does not ask about signings it's not true that he asked the coach to sign him."
