Real Madrid rocked as Man City plan to replace Sergio Aguero with this 21-goal striker

Aguero has fallen down the pecking order since the arrival of Gabriel Jesus last month and has dropped to the bench for the last two games.

The Argentine admitted after their 2-1 win over Swansea he intends to remain at City but will assess his options at the end of the season.

And, according to The Sun, City boss Pep Guardiola will turn his attention to Dortmund hitman Aubameyang if he loses Aguero in the summer.
