Sergio Aguero has revealed he plans to depart Manchester City once his contract expires in 2019.
The Argentina international made the confession just a week after becoming City’s all-time record goalscorer.
Aguero has two years left on his current deal and says he has always planned to return to his boyhood club, Independiente and he explained that may be in 2019.
The 29-year-old left Argentina to join Atletico Madrid in 2011 and Aguero thinks he will soon be returning home.
‘It came out that Milan and Real Madrid wanted me and,’ he told Clarin.

‘I don’t know where I read it – but they said, ‘They just spoiled Independiente’s dream.’
‘But the idea was always to go back to Independiente when my contract with City runs out in 2019.
‘I have an option to extend one more year with City where it’s the priority but it’s always an option.
‘The idea is to go back. Now, I’m doing very well and hopefully we can win the cup [title], but it’s not easy.’
Aguero is with Argentina on international duty with friendly games against Russia and Nigeria ahead.
The striker will be hoping to have added more silverware to his collection by the time he leaves City.
Pep Guardiola has breathed new life into the Sky Blues and has got the team playing eye-catching football.
City are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League and have also been excellent in the Champions League.
Aguero will be 31 when his City contract runs out and there is an option for a further year.
