Atletico Madrid star Sergio Aguero insists he is happy to remain at the club until they decide to cash in on him. The talented Argentine has a number of high profile admirers and was widely tipped to join Chelsea this summer after another successful season in La Liga. Speculation has since cooled and the 22-year-old admits he is happy to stay with the club so long as they still want him. "I have told the club that I want to stay here, so they will sort out with my agent whether to renew my contract or not. I don't get involved with that," said Aguero, who would command a hefty transfer fee. "But as I have always said, I'm happy and when the club needs to sell me for the money, they will do. But right now they don't want to and I'm here." Reigning UEFA Europa League winners Atletico take on UEFA Champions League winners Inter this Friday in the European Super Cup in Monaco. Aguero believes Atletico, who also reached the Copa del Rey final last term, have nothing to fear in Inter and expects the club to build on their strong finish to last season. "Practically no players have left," said Aguero, who joined the club from Independiente for £15 million in 2006. "All of us from last year, when we got to two finals, are here, and this year, with the players we have brought in, we can do a lot more," he added. "We are capable of squaring up to any team with our confidence and winning mentality. It will be a great game."
