Manchester City have confirmed that Sergio Aguero will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season, with the Argentine heavily linked to a potential move to a host of European giants.

“Manchester City will bid a fond and emotional farewell to legendary striker Sergio Aguero when his contract expires this summer,” the club announced in a statement on Monday. 

“Treasured by City fans and a global icon of the game, Aguero is one of the most decorated and respected footballers to wear the sky-blue shirt.”

He has already become City’s record goalscorer, topping Eric Brook’s 78-year record in 2017 and currently he has 257 goals to his name from 384 games.

Despite suffering an injury-hit current campaign, Aguero will still have the chance to add to that haul this season as Pep Guardiola’s team remain in the hunt on four fronts.  

“He joined City in the summer of 2011, making an immediate impact by scoring twice and creating an assist on his thirty-minute cameo debut in a 4-0 home win over Swansea City. It was a dramatic and impressive start that gave an indication of what was to follow,” the club added in their message. 

“One renowned such moment would include his heart-stopping goal in the unforgettable final game of that same season against QPR which secured the Club’s first ever Premier League title.”

“He is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of the Premier League era and is the competition’s most lethal goalscorer in terms of goals scored per minutes played. 

“Indeed, he is the highest scoring overseas player in Premier League history – and in January 2020 he overtook Alan Shearer to set the record for the most Premier League hat-tricks after registering his 12th away at Aston Villa.”

Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has revealed that plans are underway for an Aguero statue at the Etihad Stadium, where the forward will be immortalised along with his former teammates Vincent Kompany and David Silva.

Understandably, Aguero is adored by Man City fans, who flooded across social media to pay tribute to the club’s arguably the Premier League’s – greatest-ever goalscorer.

Liam Gallagher has led the tributes, writing “to the 1 n only SERGIO AGUERO thankyou for all the good times you have brought to our club you absolute LEGEND good luck in the future LG x.”

Here is how some fans of Manchester City reacted to the news regarding the departure of the Brazilian.

Lets hoped City fans will be permitted to attend Etihad Stadium when City play Everton on the last day of the season to bid their farewells – something Aguero surely deserves.
