Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has rejected claims that star striker Sergio Aguero could be heading back to Spain at the end of the season.
Aguero has been the subject of speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid, but Mancini has been quick to rubbish any such rumours, and stated that Aguero has a contract to fulfil at the Etihad Stadium.
Mancini told The Sunday Express: “It will be difficult for him to join Real Madrid because he has signed a five-year contract. I don’t think this will happen.
“It was important that we qualified straight into the Champions League and since then have brought in more good players. I am happy because we are playing very well.”
Stories have been circulating around La Liga that Aguero could join Real Madrid, with the unwritten rule preventing Atletico Madrid selling directly to their rivals encouraging him to join Manchester City for a year.
One aspect of this speculation is the rumour that Aguero only joined Manchester City on the proviso that the club would not stand in his way if Real Madrid made a formal approach for the forward’s services.
However, Mancini has dismissed all these claims, and will be looking for Aguero to continue his stunning form so far this season.
