Sergio Aguero insists his future lies at Manchester City - despite Pep Guardiola's pursuit of Alexis Sanchez.

As revealed by MEN Sport last month, Guardiola wants Sanchez and Aguero in his squad next season.

The City manager also retains an interest in Kylian Mbappe.

With Gabriel Jesus also at the Etihad, Guardiola could assemble a devastating forward line if his transfer plans come off.

It would also present Aguero with major competition for a regular starting role, having already been displaced by Jesus last season.

Despite seeking talks to clarify his future, the 29-year-old insists he has no intention of leaving.

“I feel very happy here, so I will fulfil my contract to stay here until the end of my contract,” Aguero told the Xinhua News Agency. “I have not thought about where to play next.

“I just want to focus on the work here.”

City have always maintained they do not wish to sell their leading scorer - even after Guardiola dropped him in favour of Jesus in the second half of the season.

The Argentine still scored 33 goals in all competitions - and was outstanding alongside Jesus in the final weeks of the campaign.

Aguero added: “I think my season was not bad. My form was pretty good.

“That is true I missed a lot of games and that stopped me from helping the team score more goals. But overall it was a very positive season.”

City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak reaffirmed the club’s own stance on the striker last month.

In his end of season address, he said: “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.

“Having Sergio Aguero as part of the squad is an absolute must and it has never been in doubt.”

Guardiola is determined to add more fire power to a squad he believed was too wasteful in his first season at City.

Sanchez is his top target, with City hoping to secure a £50m deal for the Chilean, who is out of contract in 12 months.

Guardiola also has a long-standing interest in Mbappe and has not ruled out a move for the Monaco striker.

Meanwhile Aguero has ruled out the chance of Lionel Messi joining him at City.

“There isn’t a team in the world that would not want to have Messi as a player,” he said. “But I think he is doing pretty well at Barcelona.

“So I think he will stay there until the end of his contract, because he is growing with Barcelona and has grown into one of the best players in the world.”
