Mauricio Pochettino wants to sign Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero in the summer, according to reports.

The former Tottenham boss was installed in the PSG hot seat earlier this month following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel.

Aguero is paid around £240,000 per week at the Etihad Stadium, and PSG are one of the few clubs who could meet his wage demands.

But Pep Guardiola might not want to lose City’s all-time leading goalscorer, despite the fact he turns 33 in June.

"Just look at the numbers, the quality he has in the box, Sergio is unique," Guardiola said in the build-up to the Birmingham game. 

"He has a tough, tough injury. The important thing is his mood is exceptional, I would say better than ever.

"It's important that the feeling, the last two weeks, his knee's reaction was really good after training. This is the best news we can have. 

"He’s going to start, the minutes his performance level or knee will dictate. What's important is good quality minutes, as much as possible, we start from the beginning and after we'll see what happens. 

"It will be great to have Sergio fit. He’s so optimistic. He says 'I will score goals' and that is the most important thing."

"With the players in this part of the season, everything is open," he added.

”I am more than impressed with the first captain role of Fernandinho, he is leading in an exceptional way. In the good moments and the bad, bad moments. 

"If everyone can take an example of what he has done so far, the team will be stronger."
