Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has done little to quell the uncertainty surrounding Sergio Aguero's future at the club, saying that he was unsure where the mercurial Argentine striker would be plying his trade next season.
The emergence of young trio Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane in recent weeks has meant that Aguero, the club's top scorer with 18 goals in 26 games this campaign, has had to settle for a place on the bench.
"At the end of the season I don't know. I know how difficult it is to find top goal scorers. I would like him to stay but I don't know what is going to happen," Guardiola said. "Sergio knows the intention of his manager and the club. I don't want to sell him. I want him to stay here for a long time until he decides.
"The reason he's not played the last two games are because Leroy, Gabriel and Raheem have played amazing. That's the only reason why."
Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic also has yet to commit his future to the club with the Swede saying he has fulfilled the requirements needed to extend his contract.
"I have to score 100 goals," Ibrahimovic said when asked if he has triggered the extension clause with goals and appearances. "The option is already fulfilled. But there's nothing done yet. From my side. We'll wait and see. Let's see what happens."
