The former Argentina international had already hinted that Manchester City will miss Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus but insisted that Erling Haaland will thrive at Manchester City.
Sergio Aguero wrote on his blog for stake.com, saying: “Both players (Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus) were important in the City scheme. I’m sure City will miss them a lot as they are great players.
“There will be a new make-up of the attack but this is a team with a great squad that will be ready for new challenges.”
On Erling Haaland, he added: “I think that an elite player like him will know how to reconcile his style with that of Pep’s teams.
“It may take a while, as it did in the beginning for me. But once he gets into gear everything will be simpler. I think he has the talent to fulfill what is asked of him, which are goals.”

Paul Merson said on SkySports via Blue Footy, saying: “I would worry about Man City selling Sterling as you’re selling lots of goals. People always go to me; ‘He’s always at the far post tapping them in’.
“He’s not pushing anybody out the way to tap those goals in. There’s an art to what he does.
“He will be a massive miss to Man City next season if he leaves. If Chelsea went and got him, then that would be a major signing as they’re getting a top-quality international footballer, who is at one of the top teams in the world.”
Raheem Sterling is expected to make his official debut against Everton in the Premier League.
