Man City legend Sergio Aguero has hit out at the Premier League club’s decision to sell Raheem Sterling to Chelsea this summer.
There has been a fair bit of transfer activity at the Etihad Stadium in the summer transfer window with Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips and Stefan Ortega joining on permanent deals, while Julian Alvarez has finally joined up with Pep Guardiola’s squad.
Sterling, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus have been the high-profile departures with Fernandinho also leaving on a free transfer.

It has been reported that Man City got £47.5m from Chelsea for the signing of Sterling this summer with the transfer surprising many people.
Sterling provided 13 goals and five assists in 30 Premier League appearances last campaign with the England international hitting 131 goals in 339 matches in his time at Man City.

Aguero’s compatriot scored his first competitive goal for Man City in their loss to Liverpool at the weekend and he was happy to get off the mark.
Alvarez said after the match: “Obviously, I’m very happy for scoring my first goal with City, but that stays aside as we wanted to win the trophy.
