Sergio Aguero will meet Manchester City officials to discuss a new contract at the end of the season and has confirmed he wants to stay at the club.
City’s top scorer has described recent proclamations from the club and manager Pep Guardiola that they want him to stay as a “breakthrough” but says he is yet to receive such assurances in person.
Speculation over Aguero’s long-term future under Guardiola has recurred throughout the campaign and intensified when he lost his place to new signing Gabriel Jesus last month.
But since Jesus suffered a foot injury a fortnight ago, Aguero has been back in form with four goals in the past two games, against Monaco and Huddersfield.
Aguero, who is contracted until 2020, said on Spanish radio station Onda Cero: “I have three months to give my best and, as I always said, in June it will be seen.
“One thing is that the club officially says it and another thing is to tell me. My intention is to stay. The club can say what it wants but in June they will have to meet with me.”
He added: “It is a breakthrough for the club to say that but I do not want to think about what will happen to my future.
“I hope that in June we can achieve some title which is the most important thing and then we will see.”
Aguero’s double in Wednesday’s 5-1 thrashing of Huddersfield in an FA Cup fifth-round replay took his tally for the season to 22 and his overall haul since joining the club in 2011 to 158.
