Manchester City will bid a fond and emotional farewell to legendary striker Sergio Aguero when his contract expires this summer.

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 joined The Citizens in the summer of 2011, making an immediate impact by scoring a brace 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.

Sergio went on to become City’s all time goalscorer, overtaking Eric Brook’s 78-year record when he struck in our 4-2 win at Napoli in 2017, and played a leading role in the Club’s three further Premier League titles, one FA Cup and five League Cups.

In total, he has bagged an incredible 257 goals in 384 appearances.

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.

City Chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak has revealed that a statue of the City striker has been commissioned to stand alongside those currently in work to honour Sergio’s former team-mates David Silva and Vincent Kompany. His legend will further be marked by the installation of dedicated and permanent mosaic at the City Football Academy.

The Club will now begin work on plans to mark his departure on the final home game of the 2020/21 season against Everton, when it is hoped that thousands of supporters will be permitted to attend Etihad Stadium to pay tribute to his extraordinary contribution and achievements.
