Sergio Aguero says he wants to return to Independiente when his contract at Manchester City expires in 2019.

Despite another spate of injuries, the Argentinean has looked as vital as ever to City’s hopes of silverware this season, scoring nine goals in all competitions.

His current deal at the Etihad doesn’t expire until the summer of 2019, but as far as the Argentine is concerned that will be the end of his spell at City.

‘I always say that I will return to Independiente, and I will do it,’ he told French outlet So Foot.


‘When my contract comes to an end (in 2019), I will come back. I don’t want to do it too old. If all goes well, at 31, I will return to my beloved club.’
