Manchester City have announced that striker Sergio Aguero will leave the club at the end of the season.

The Argentinian is out of contract in the summer and the club have confirmed that he will not sign a new deal.

Aguero, who joined City from Atletico Madrid in 2011, is sure to attract the interest of a number of top clubs with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain linked with potential moves for the 32-year-old.

Aguero was keen to stay but has started just five Premier League and Champions League matches this season after being troubled by illness and injury.

After suffering a knee injury in the first game of Project Lockdown in June, he had surgery which ruled him out until October.

He then had a hamstring setback and missed another 10 games because of coronavirus regulations and has been struggling to prove his match sharpness.

With 257 goals from 384 appearances, Aguero is the club’s record goalscorer overtaking Eric Brook’s 78-year record in 2017 and City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak confirmed a statue of him has been commissioned.

Aguero also provided the most iconic moment in the history of the club – and possibly the Premier League – when his last-minute winner against QPR on the final game of the 2012 season secured the title from Manchester United on goal difference.

He is the highest scoring overseas player in Premier League history – and fourth overall – and has won 10 major trophies during his time at the Etihad Stadium, including four Premier League titles, Goal.com reports.
