Could Sergio Agüero be in his last season as a City player? The same Spanish journalist who reported he’d been playing in pain for three months (since reported by the English press) believes he could leave soon.
Kun Agüero could leave Manchester City really soon. He loves a lot the club and their fans but he is not valued by the coach. He is the second best rated scoring goals per minute played in PL (101 minutes per goal). Real Madrid could be a potential destiny for him.
