Sergio Agüero will
leave the club at the end of the season after ten years.

384 games for Manchester City and scored 257 goals
, breaking the record held by Eric Brook until 2017.
Kun wanted to say goodbye to the fans through a letter on their social networks.
"When a cycle closes, you have many sensations," Aguero began.
"I am left with the enormous satisfaction and pride of having spent ten seasons at Manchester City, something unusual in these times for a professional player," he added.
"Ten seasons with very important achievements in which I was able to become the historical scorer and in which I forged an indestructible bond with all the people of the club that I will always carry in my heart," he continued.
"I had to arrive in 2011, in a reconstruction stage and together with the vision of its owners and the contribution of different players
we managed to place it at the top
. Now it will be up to others to keep it in that privileged place where it deserves to continue being", he pointed.
"Personally, I will continue to give everything for the remainder of the season to win other titles and bring more joy to people.
Then a new stage will come with other challenges for which I feel fully
and that I will face with the same passion and professionalism. that I always gave to continue competing at the highest level, "concluded Agüero.
Titles
From Manchester he leaves with
three Premier League titles under his arm, an English Cup and five League Cups
, plus the trophies he can still get this season, in which City are leaders in the English league, he is in semi-finals of the English Cup, in the final of the League Cup and in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Agüero's pending task in the team led by Pep Guardiola.
Among the
records held
in England, the highest number of hat tricks (triplets) stands out, twelve, surpassing Alan Shearer, the all-time top scorer in the competition.
His role at City, however, has waned this season due to injuries, which have seen him play only 14 games.
The club will bid him
farewell in the final home game
of the season against Everton, for which City hope to have fans in the stands paying tribute to the top scorer in their history.
