Manchester City transfer news: Sergio Aguero has signed contract extension, confirms Pep Guardiola

PEP GUARDIOLA confirmed Sergio Aguero has signed his contract extension with Manchester City.

SunSport revealed in July that 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.”

Guardiola and Aguero were spotted having dinner in a Manchester restaurant on Thursday.

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.”

Guardiola is looking forward to seeing Aguero play alongside new-boy Gabriel Jesus.

The City chief is also backing his under-fire keeper Claudio Bravo.

The Chilean conceded four goals at Everton — even though the Toffees had only four shots on target.

But Guardiola said: “I am convinced he is a good goalkeeper.”

City have appealed against Bacary Sagna’s £40,000 fine for a social media post about ref Lee Mason. They feel it was unduly harsh.
