Sergio Aguero joined Manchester City from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and has gone on to become the club's record goalscorer; the Argentina international has scored 257 goals in 384 appearances for City; he will be honoured with a statue at the Etihad.
It is understood to have been a cordial agreement between both parties, with Aguero having made only 14 appearances for City this season due to issues with health and injuries. City manager Pep Guardiola spoke with Aguero, 32, in person on Monday before the announcement was made, while chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak called the striker to inform him of plans for the statue.
The Argentina international has helped City win four Premier League titles, an FA Cup, and five League Cups over his 10-year stay, with the club still chasing a quadruple this season. Aguero is also City's record goalscorer, with 257 goals in 384 appearances for the club, having surpassed Eric Brook's 78-year record.
