Raheem Sterling believes that whoever Manchester City sign to replace Sergio Aguero this summer will have a difficult task in filling the Argentine’s shoes. Aguero will leave City this summer after a trophy-laden decade upon the expiration of his contract. It’s understood that City are looking for a new striker to replace their record goalscorer this summer, with Harry Kane and Erling Haaland among the top targets. Sterling believes whoever arrives at the club will find it tough to live up to Aguero’s legacy.
Raheem Sterling said: “He’s a club legend He’s done so much for this football club, won so many important games. The amount of trophies he has won in the last couple of years for this football club is truly remarkable. He is one of those players who will go down in history at this football club and in years to come people will talk about him like they are today. He’s a legend. [For someone] to come in and try to replace him and fill into his shoes will be quite a big one.”
Aguero will be hoping to leave City on the best possible terms by helping the club win the Champions League for the first time in their history against Chelsea on Saturday. Sterling explained what the tournament means to the club.
Raheem Sterling added: “City is a club that is looking to build on its history. In recent times we are doing that. Of late, the Champions League is something that we want as a club. We are really determined. It’s a competition that I set sight on ever since I came to this club. One of the ambitions was to win the Champions League and now we have an opportunity to do that.”
