Pep Guardiola hopeful Sergio Aguero will sign contract extension

[Suarez™]

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he thinks prolific forward Sergio Aguero is poised to sign a contract extension.

The 28-year-old Argentina international has spoken before about possibly re-joining his first club Independiente when the five-year City contract he signed in 2014 expires.

However, reports have emerged suggesting Aguero will extend his deal by a year and remain with City until at least 2020.

And Guardiola said at his Friday press conference: "I don't know if I am the right person to talk about that but I think he is going to extend the contract.

"It is not official. I don't know if it is definitely going to happen but, if he stays, I will be so, so happy."
