According to WhoScored, who is City's top Premier League goalscorer so far this season?

It was claimed that a “swap deal” between Martinez and City striker Sergio Aguero “has been proposed to the representatives of both players. However, no financial terms have been discussed.”

This post then gathered a number of replies from City fans who were keen to have their say on this latest update.

Here’s a sample of City fans responding to the post:

Would you swap Sergio Aguero for Lautaro Martinez this summer?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Martinez, who is currently valued at £57.6 million according to Transfermarkt, has scored 16 goals and provided four assists in 31 appearances for the Italian side in all competitions so far this season (per Transfermarkt). Now that this latest rumour has surfaced on Twitter saying that a swap deal could be in the works that would see Martinez take Aguero’s place in Pep Guardiola’s squad, this has opened the door for many City fans to share their doubts over the potential switch.

What do we think?
It’s nice to see these City fans sticking with Aguero over Martinez despite his goalscoring record in Italy this season.
