The Argentinian has been linked with a move away from the Etihad in recent months and have grown since the arrival of Gabriel Jesus.

"Now I've read a lot about the speculation on this and it's ridiculous. Sergio Aguero is one of the best players in the world and we are a team that aspires to win in every competition we compete in."
He added: "Having Sergio Aguero part of the squad is an absolute must and it has never been in doubt."
