Sergio Aguero signs contract extension with Manchester City until 2021

Manchester City’s record goalscorer Sergio Aguero has signed a contract extension with the Premier League champions that will keep him at the club until 2021.

The Argentine striker, who joined City in 2011 from Atletico Madrid is the club’s all-time record goalscorer with 204 goals from 229 appearances.

“I am happy for this additional year. My idea was being here for 10 years. I’ve been here for seven years, it’s going to be 10 when the contract expires,” Aguero, who became the club’s record goalscorer last season, told City TV on Thursday.

“This was the main reason I signed. I’m very happy because they have treated me very well since the first day I got here.”
