The striker is also said to have been fit enough to place in recent weeks, despite not making the squad for four of City’s last seven league games.

Despite their apparent differences in the last few months, the pair embraced one another during City’s title celebrations on Sunday.

Guardiola became visibly emotional when speaking to Sky Sports about Aguero’s departure, insisting City will never be able to replace him. 

‘We love him so much,’ the teary eyed manager said. ‘He is a special person for all of us. He is so nice, he is so nice. He helped me a lot, he’s so good. 

‘We cannot replace him. We cannot. 

‘They are many players we have had to discard like him, Joe Hart and David Silva, who have helped us this club to be what it is.
