Argentina striker Sergio AGUERO has renewed his contract until 2021 with Manchester City.

The club legend’s previous contract had a termination date of 2020 with the general idea that AGUERO would return to his child hood club Independiente. That welcome home will have a slight delay by one year. Signing his contract and speaking with City TV, here’s what AGUERO had to say:

“My idea was being here for 10 years. I’ve been here for seven years, it’s going to be 10 when the contract expires.”

AGUERO joined from Atletico Madrid for a reported £38 million having coming off a solid performance at the 2011 Copa America with Argentina. He has since scored 204 goals in 209 matches.
