Manchester City Look To Replace Aguero:
Sheikh Mansour, the UAE’s deputy prime minister, bought Manchester City in 2008. They have spent limitless sums of money constructing this club since then. Manchester City is known as the “Oil-Money-Club” by opposing fans because they spend a lot of money on players.
An entire club has been revitalized under Pep Guardiola, particularly this season of 20/21.
They are presently regarded as one of the top football clubs in the world.
They have scored a remarkable 64 goals while conceding only 21.
These metrics are now second-best among the world’s top five leagues, trailing only PSG.
They dominate every match they attend.
They presently lead the Premier League with 75 points, having a 14-point lead over Manchester United in the second.
Reinforcements on the Defensive
Pep Guardiola prefers to play defensively in the majority of his games.
During the last three seasons, his team has spent more than $100 million on defenders and defensive midfielders.
Ruben Dias of Benfica and Rodri of Atletico Madrid are two recent examples.
Despite boasting world-class defenders like Aymeric Laporte and John Stones, City’s defense has to be strengthened.
This season, Manchester City has signed Nathan Ake as their second defender.)
Man City spends more money on defenders than any other Premier League club.
Nathan Ake was brought in from Bournemouth to be a starter but has yet to get the chance he deserves.
Ake has only appeared in six games and has scored one goal.
Ruben Dias was signed for $80 million from Benfica, and Nicolas Otamendi was sent the opposite way.
With their recent improvement in form and performance, ManCity has only lost one of their previous thirty-three games across all competitions.
Where credit is due, credit is given. Dias and Stones’ pairing has been one of the best defensive partnerships in all of Europe’s top football leagues.
Without the duo, City would have conceded many more goals than they presently do.
What Has Sergio Aguero Been Up To?
Sergio Aguero, Manchester City’s icon, is perhaps one of the best strikers the Premier League has seen in recent seasons.
On July 28, 2011, he joined the club from Atletico Madrid for $47.3 million.
He has remained devoted to the club throughout his career.
In 384 games across his ten years with the club, he has scored 257 goals and supplied 73 assists.
His primary position is striker/center-forward, and he has played for various managers like Roberto Mancini, Manuel Pellegrini, and now Pep Guardiola.
Every aging player sustains an injury from time to time as a result of their age.
Sergio suffered a devastating knee injury during the 2019/20 season and missed a significant portion of the season.
He recently returned from injury and has made fourteen appearances this season, scoring three goals.
This covid-affected season became one of the reasons he missed games, not simply injury.
He was afflicted with the coronavirus and missed seven games.
Aguero has only played three games after recuperating from the virus, and he only played the entire 90 minutes against Fulham in a 3-0 triumph, where he scored his first Premier League goal.
His contract expires in June 2021, and ManCity is concerned about whether they should extend his deal further owing to his age and lack of adequate fitness.
Aguero will most likely depart the club on a free transfer next season.
Where Will Aguero End Up?
Sergio’s contract with Manchester City is unlikely to be renewed, owing to his age and injury history.
Several clubs are interested in signing the Argentine.
Because he plays alongside Messi on the Argentina National Team, there have been numerous claims in the media that Barcelona is interested in bringing the forward to Camp Nou, especially since they are in need of a striker.
They believed that Messi’s influence and relationship with Aguero would complement the Barcelona squad because Aguero is pals with Messi.
Barcelona feels Messi and Aguero’s friendship will be crucial in convincing Sergio to join them.
Sergio, on the other hand, is said to want to stay in the Premier League.
Certain teams in the league, on the other hand, are in severe need of a fresh attacker.
Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham, Manchester United, and Chelsea are among the teams interested in signing Aguero next season.
Among the clubs mentioned above, Arsenal and West Ham may not have the financial resources to meet Aguero’s wage demands.
In terms of Liverpool, City is unlikely to transfer their player to a direct rival.
Sergio will not join United despite having been a City player for over ten years.
So, if he wants to continue in the Premier League, Chelsea is his only plausible alternative.
Even if they raise his wage, they will have enough money to pay him.
Who Will Take Aguero’s Place If He Leaves?
Gabriel Jesus, a Brazilian youth, is Manchester City’s only other striker.
Despite his youth, he has demonstrated that he can be the team’s number one striker and score goals.
The issue, however, is his lack of form and consistency.
As a result, Pep Guardiola frequently employs False-9 players like as Kevin De Bruyne, Ferran Torres, and/or Raheem Sterling.
Even if they score a lot of goals, they aren’t playing in their natural position, where they excel.
As a result, Manchester City is in desperate need of a goal-scoring striker to replace their legend, Sergio Aguero.
The city is interested in signing Erling Braut Haaland from Dortmund, Danny Ings from Southampton, and Kylian Mbappe from PSG.
Is Haaland the best option?
Erling Braut Haaland is the world’s most sought-after kid this season, with major clubs from all around the world vying for his services next season.
The contract of the youthful prodigy includes a $75 million release clause, which will be activated in the summer of 2022.
As a result, most teams are eager to cash in on this right now rather than competing next season.
Erling’s father is Alf-Inge Haaland. Alf-Inge Haaland is a Mancity player.
Manchester City, among the elite teams, has the requisite finances to execute the purchase.
If ManCity wishes to get Haaland to the Etihad, they will have to pay at least $125 million to BVB.
Another reason City believes they can sign Haaland is that his father, Alf-Inge Haaland, once played for the club.
They believe they may utilize this connection to entice Haaland to the club where his father displayed his talents.
Haaland is dressed in City. Kit Erling Braut Haaland could sign with City.
If Haaland does join the Blues, he will become even deadlier than he is currently with the proper players around him and the right coach to guide him.
However, with numerous teams vying for Erling’s signature, including Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and PSG, City has little chance of signing the young wunderkind.
Danny Ings: The Better Alternative
In terms of the alternative possibility, Danny Ings may be the better and less expensive option for a striker.
After joining the Saints from Liverpool in 2018, the now 28-year-old striker has resurrected his career.
In two and a half years with Southampton, the English striker has 42 goals in 89 games.
Given Southampton’s performance over the last two years, Ings’ 42 goals in 89 games are believable.
Sergio Aguero, City’s leading goal scorer, is nearing the conclusion of his illustrious career at the Etihad, and Mancity needs someone who can score goals for fun and when they need them.
Ings would be a much better, more viable, and less expensive alternative for Pep Guardiola’s team than Erling Haaland.
Why is it cheaper?
Because Ings is entering the final year of his contract with the Saints.
The Saints, on the other hand, want to make Danny their highest-paid player, offering him a contract for $100,000 per week.
However, the talks have come to a halt over his release clause, which is thought to be worth $20 million.
Manchester City does face competition from Tottenham Hotspur in England.
The London club sees Ings as the ‘ideal’ replacement for Harry Kane, who is set to leave the club in the summer.
In an interview with talkSport, Ally McCoist, a Rangers FC and Scotland legend believe that Ings will score goals ‘for fun’ and perform better than the club’s current strikers.
SERGIO AGUERO AND MAN CITY HAVE DECIDED TO PART WAYS.
Manchester City has confirmed that they will not renew the contract of its iconic Argentine striker, Sergio Aguero, on March 30, 2021.
The news is not as unexpected because the striker’s future was in doubt due to a lack of certainty from the club about a new deal.
