Sergio Aguero has promised City fans he will return stronger than ever next season.
And that appears to kill the rumours that the Blues’ leading goalscorer is being lined up for a £70million move to Real Madrid in the summer.
Aguero has hit an astonishing 28 goals in 30 starts for the Blues, despite his season being disrupted by calf, hamstring and groin injuries which ruled him out for three months, spread over three different spells.
And that has heightened speculation that Real Madrid, and possibly rivals Barcelona, could move for the Argentina star, in a bid to pep up their flagging La Liga fortunes next season.
The possibility that UEFA’s financial fair play rules may force City to sell in order to strengthen their squad this summer has also put the Spanish giants on alert.
But M.E.N. Sport understands Aguero’s injury troubles have caused Madrid to make Liverpool ace Luis Suarez their number one target.
Aguero returned to action for the Blues in the win over West Ham that clinched the title:
“I’m so happy. It was an amazing moment to win another title,” he said. ”I’ll be back next year even stronger to win more trophies.”
City have already made it plain Aguero, who last summer signed a new four-year contract, is not for sale at any price.
As well as being one of their world-class stars, Aguero is an icon, and as such part of the strategy of turning City into a global brand.
