Hello, I'll be transcripting what is said in Agüero's press conference.
Laporta: “Sergio, you're a player that Barça have always admired, because of your tremendous qualities. You have the style to fit in here. We're excited. We are here to bring happiness back to Barcelona and we are starting with you, Kün.”
Agüero: “I'm very happy, thank you to President Laporta and the board to have made this possible.”
“I will try to offer my best version to help the teams in order to win. It gives me great joy to be here. Barça are the best team in the world, of course having Messi as well.”
“I told the President that when I was young, Barça was interested in me. I think any player who has the opportunity to come to Barça will come running. And that's what I did.”
Agüero on if him signing means that Messi will stay:
“I hope so. As the President said, there are negotiations with Messi to stay, and the decision to stay will be his own. Without a doubt I will be happy and proud to play with him.”
“Yes, I think that Messi will continue here.”
Agüero on his time at Man City:
“Except for last season, I have had nine very good years. Due to knee problems I was not there for a few months, but in recent months I started to feel better.”
Agüero talks about Pep's last words with him:

Laporta on his discussion with Koeman about Agüero:
“We have told Koeman that we were going to sign Kun and that is because any coach in the world would want to have Kun.”
Mateu Alemany on signing Agüero:

Agüero adds:
“I told my agents to not talk to any other clubs apart from Barça.”
Laporta on Koeman's future:
“As I told you, we talked to Koeman and made an assessment about the season. We needed a while to think, and in 10 days we'll talk to him. We respect Koeman and currently, Koeman is Barça's coach.”
Agüero on if he has talked with Messi yet:
“I talk to him every day, but I will not tell you what we said. The last message was that he congratulated me on my signing. The other things, I can't say.”
Agüero talks about what role he thinks he will play:
“I need to have a good pre-season first. The
