Man City boss Guardiola: I want Aguero to stay. He knows this

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists Sergio Aguero is staying.

The Argentine superstar penned a deal last year that ties him to the club until 2020.

Yet it was never formally announced by City, leading to rumours all was not well between the pair. But ahead of today's clash with Spurs, Guardiola said: “He has already signed a contract extension.

“Sergio will be here until he decides not to be here. He is our best striker — we have a problem with goals so we need him. What I want is the best possible for him."

But Guardiola denied reports they were discussing the player's future.

He said: “We didn't speak about the contract. He has a lot of money and wanted to invite his coach to have dinner. That's all."
