Their record goalscorer is leaving the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

In a decade at the Etihad Stadium, Aguero's scored 257 goals, and is on the verge of winning a fifth Premier League winner's medal.

It was his injury time goal in 2012 that gave City a first league title in 44 years.

RUGBY

Johnny Sexton and Ross Byrne are set to be fit for Leinster's Champions Cup match against Toulon in Dublin on Friday.

Sexton is recovering from a bang to the nose, while Byrne is shaking off a knock to the knee.

Simon Zebo has been linked with a move to London Irish.

The former Munster winger turned full-back is out of contract at Racing 92 in the summer.

A return to Munster had been mooted, but tight finances may preclude that from happening.

Declan Kidney - the man who handed Zebo his Ireland debut - is London Irish director of rugby.
