And according to Spanish journalist Jose Alvarez Haya, while the 29-year-old loves the club, he doesn't feel valued by boss Pep Guardiola.

Alvarez tweeted this out, prompting the speculation about Aguero’s future:

Guardiola addressed Augero’s reaction after the win against Spurs, claiming he understands his frustration.

He said in the post-match press conference: "That's normal. The players want to play and I can understand him.

"He wants to play, he's a top player but in that moment I needed a little more energy with Gabriel in that position that's why I took that decision.

"Always I don't want to hurt the players, believe me. I understand them because I was a football player. They want to play but I have to take the decisions.

"Before the game I thought the best option was Sergio and I said that to Gabriel and he was sad and upset."
