New figures claim Sergio Aguero was an even bigger bargain than we thought ...coming in at £31.5m!

The fee quoted at the time, and which Manchester City did not contest, was that Kun cost £38m.

But website Football Leaks - which specialises in digging out details of such moves - reveals that the agreed fee was £28.5m and that add-ons of £3m have since been paid for goals and appearances.

It is believed that selling club Atletico Madrid revealed a higher figure in order to quell the unrest among their fans at having to sell a favourite player, and City acquiesced in that.

Given that Aguero has since been a key figure in two Premier League triumphs, two League Cups and qualification for the last four Champions League group stages, it has been money well spent.

In fact, the fee is the same as that paid for his Argentina teammate Nicolas Otamendi!

Since signing, Aguero has scored 128 goals in 197 appearances and his strike rate makes him the deadliest striker in Premier League history.

Here is how the leaked document breaks down the fee for Kun:

£9.5mi when he signed in July, 2011

£9.5m in July 2012

£9.5m in July 2013

PLUS

£200,000 for every 15 goals, and for every 25 appearances, to a maximum of £1.5million. He has reached those targets every season, so the full £1.5m has been triggered.

PLUS

£800,000 for every Premier League title, £800,000 for every Champions League semi-final win, and £400,000 for every Champions League quarter-final win, to a maximum of £1.5m. Two league titles have triggered the full £1.5m.
