Ilkay Gundogan has 'no doubt' Sergio Aguero will stay with Manchester City

Transfer speculation around Sergio Aguero's future at Manchester City will come to nothing, Ilkay Gundogan has predicted.

Aguero, 28, has three-and-a-half years left on his current deal and has spoken about plans to return to Independiente, but has been linked with a move to Real Madrid. However, Gundogan is confident the Argentina international is going nowhere.

"I think he will stay here," Gundogan said. "I have no doubt about that."

Gundogan played alongside Robert Lewandowski at Borussia Dortmund and now lines up with Aguero at City and said his current teammate gives a lot to the team, even when he doesn't get on the scoresheet.

"He's very good. I'm lucky that I played with Robert Lewandowski at Borussia Dortmund and now Sergio.

"Lewandowski, of course, is taller, but both are very strong and are able to keep the ball. And Sergio, he's just a goal machine. I mean if he has the chances to score then 90-95 percent of the time he will score.

"If you know you have such a player in your team then you know that you are always able to score and will always create your chances.

"Sergio is extremely important for us and while he didn't score against Barcelona in our Champions League win he worked a lot and ran a lot and just tried to keep every ball for us."
