Duncan Castles has been speaking on the latest episode of The Transfer Window Podcast and has revealed that Manchester City and Sergio Aguero are now in talks over a new deal.
Castles spoke about other things, but he spent a bit of time on the Argentine and his future, and this is what he had to say about Aguero:
“I can tell you that there’s already been discussions between the club and Sergio Aguero over a contract extension.
“The club are so eager to keep him there, that very significant sums are being talked about as a signing-on fee for that contract extension – the figure that has been mentioned to me is a sum of over €20m [£18.13m] for Aguero to remain there.”
It seems as if City are keen to keep the 32-year-old and are willing to invest a good amount of money into a signing-on fee for Aguero.
Are you happy to see Aguero get a new deal?
Yes, he is a City legend
No, time for him to move on
TIF Thoughts…
Aguero has been linked with a move away from the Etihad when his contract expires, and it was even thought that Pep Guardiola might have moved him on early in the Spaniard’s City tenure.
However, Aguero has stayed and has scored 118 goals under Guardiola, so it is no surprise to see City wanting the Argentine to stay in Manchester.
Aguero was signed from Atletico Madrid in 2011 for £36m and he has gone on to score a staggering 254 goals for City, 180 of them coming in the Premier League.
If Castles is to be believed, then there could be plenty more goals to come from Aguero in a City shirt as they look to extend his contract.
This seems like a smart move, considering the number of goals Aguero has scored for City over the years.
