The Argentine has so far played 165 minutes for Barcelona in LaLiga Santander and Champions League before leaving the pitch against Alaves in October due to chest discomfort.
A journalist and Radio MARCA contributor, Gerard Romero, said on his Twitch channel on Saturday that Aguero will announce his retirement in a press conference scheduled for next week.
Medical exams showed that Aguero suffered an arrhythmia and although those around him have tried to play down scenarios regarding a potential retirement, the Argentine has decided to call it a day with his football career.
Though Barcelona has denied the news, there are strong indications that Aguero could indeed quit football in the coming days as a result of the heart issue.
