Sergio Agüero will leave Manchester City at the end of the season when his current contract expires.
The 32-year old has been told by the club that he will not be offered an extension. However, he will leave a lasting legacy at the Etihad in the shape of a statue outside the ground which will commemorate his achievements as the club’s all-time goal scorer.
Since joining City from Atlético Madrid, he has scored 257 goals in 394 appearances for the club, and helped them win four league titles, the FA Cup and five League Cups.
However, this season he has only been a bit-part player due to a combination of injury and illness, and has only started nine games, scoring three goals.
It is not yet clear what his next destination is, although he has been linked with several European clubs, most notably Barcelona where he could hook-up with his close friend Lionel Messi.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
