Real are rapidly becoming City's nemesis in the transfer market, having already beaten them to the signature of Portsmouth midfielder Lassana Diarra.
Argentina international Aguero is one of football's most sought-after young stars, tipped as the new Maradona in his native country.
Barcelona, Inter Milan and Chelsea have also been linked with the 20-year-old, who helped Argentina win gold at this year's Olympics in Beijing.
He joined Atletico from Independiente in the summer of 2006, for a fee reportedly in the region of £16m, and has four years left on his current contract.
Aguero failed to hold down a regular starting place when he first arrived in Spain, but was promoted to lead striker after the sale of Fernando Torres to Liverpool and was the third top goalscorer in La Liga last season with 20 goals, as Atletico finished fourth and qualified for the Champions League.
Now, elconfidencial.com has speculated that Real have closed a deal to bring Aguero to the Bernabeu next season.
Javier Gomez Matallanas has written in his segment, ‘Matador’, that Real president Ramon Calderon has reached an agreement with the Atletico owners to purchase the player by paying off his £40m buy-out clause
