‘Aguero not leaving City’

Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano has insisted that Sergio Aguero will not be leaving the club.

The former Atletico Madrid man has been rumoured to be of interest to both Real Madrid and Barcelona in recent months.

But the Spanish board member has claimed that those stories have no truth to them.

“Kun Aguero is not leaving Manchester City,” he told The Mirror. “I can be really clear on this one – he's not leaving.

“This has gone on and on and on. We’ve had discussions with Sergio and his agent about several things and he has never expressed the willingness to go.

“We have never had an offer and even if we had an offer we would say ‘no’.”

Soriano then commented on whether Malaga starlet Isco is of interest to the Premier League club.

“Yes, we are interested. The way we want to work is identify the positions we want to improve, identify the candidates and then work on that.

“We’re at the closing phase with several of them but the closing phase can take one week or sometimes three months.

“Sometimes it is very difficult to execute deals early in the window. Sometimes it’s better to wait. But we know what we want and it’s our responsibility and risk to execute earlier or later.”
