Possibly, and it might be the right decision for both club and player. But it would still be a shame.
The prospect of Jesus, Mbappe, Sanchez, Sane and Sterling rotating the front 3 positions is undoubtedly mouth watering. The fact that Mbappe and Sanchez can play in the wide positions obviously provides greater flexibility than Aguero can offer. But it will still be a sad day for me if Aguero leaves the club before he reaches 30.
All the people wanting to sign him but when would he play? Ahead of Kun (IF he is still here this summer) ? NO. Ahead of Gabriel Jesus? NO.
What would be the point in signing him for a crazy sum if he wouldn't play week in week out? Unless Pep want's to have Mbappe and Jesus as the strikers which would be risking seeing as there so young and alot maybe too much pressure.

Sanchez plus Mbappe I think is unlikely with or without Kun leaving.
Mbappe can bench Sterling easily.
Ok I want Sterling to be the best player in the world, he has everything but the cool head & calmness of Mbappe.
Can't see him being a sole striker in 433 formation, he's too lightweight. Now he's playing off a big man (Falcao) in 4222 seaching for channels, mostly on the left wing, very similar to Henry in Arsenal. That's what I base my assumptions on. Besides, Pep's "wingers'' are merely nominal, they're supposed to switch across the forward line constantly.Even tough, I don't see him having a career as LW. He will be one of the, if it's not the, best striker of the world without injuries.
Agree, all points to it, don't see any tragedy. Anyway, it's better to focus on current problems with defs and mids than run for every new shiny toy.I get why we went for him last summer but I just can't see us getting him now.
