REAL MADRID want to sign Manchester City’s out-of-favour striker Sergio Aguero in the summer.
Prolific Argentine Aguero, such a key part of City’s plans since joining in 2011, seems to lost his guaranteed starting spot at the Etihad.
Aguero was benched for last night’s visit to West HamNews Group Newspapers Ltd
He was dropped in midweek for City’s 4-0 win at West Ham in favour of young £26m Brazilian star Gabriel Jesus, who scored.

Boss Pep Guardiola’s wants a high-pressing style from his strikers, which with Aguero’s many injury issues is not natural for him.

Juventus, old club Atletico and Paris Saint Germain could also be interested as the summer threatens to be a striker-centric window - as Antoine Griezmann and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be joining Morata and Benzema in moves.
