Manchester City have announced that Sergio Aguero will be leaving the club once the season ends. One of the greatest strikers of this generation, Sergio Aguero helped Manchester City establish themselves as one of the top clubs in Europe.
A true Premier League legend, Sergio Aguero broke all kinds of scoring records and is the record goalscorer at Manchester City. Currently the 4th highest goalscorer in Premier League history with 181 goals, Aguero has cemented his legacy as one of the deadliest strikers to ever play in England.
Replacing a top quality striker like Aguero will not be easy, however, these 5 players could have a similar impact if they are signed by Manchester City.
Without further ado, let us take a look at:
5 strikers who can replace Sergio Aguero at Manchester City
#5 Andre Silva - Eintracht Frankfurt
Portuguese striker Andre Silva has been in fine form for Eintrach Frankfurt this season. The 25-year-old striker has put in Aguero like numbers in the Bundesliga this season, scoring an incredible 21 goals in just 24 appearances.
After a tough spell at AC Milan, Andre Silva has shown the footballing world what he is capable of with some stunning performances and goals for Frankfurt. A complete striker who is good with his feet and in the air, Andre Silva could be a gamble well worth taking for Manchester City.
The talented striker has been linked with moves to Manchester United and Atletico Madrid recently, but Manchester City were also linked with him earlier this year.
Andre Silva could definitely add a different dimension to Manchester City's attack under Pep Guardiola.
#4 Lautaro Martinez - Inter Milan
An Argentine who could do a pretty good job of replacing Sergio Aguero at Manchester City, is Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez. Heavily linked with a move to Barcelona in the last transfer window, Lautaro Martinez has had a fruitful season at Inter.
With 14 goals in Serie A this season, Martinez has proven once again that he is one of the best young strikers in world football at the moment. At 23, Lautaro still has time to improve and could be an ideal long-term replacement for Sergio Aguero.
Blessed with pace and good finishing skills, Martinez is capable of playing both as a solo striker and as a supporting striker. Manchester City's potent attack could become even more dynamic if they manage to sign Lautaro Martinez in the summer.

#3 Joao Felix - Atletico Madrid
Another player who could have a similar career trajectory to Sergio Aguero by joining Manchester City is Atletico Madrid youngster Joao Felix. The Portuguese sensation has had a mixed season with the Rojiblancos and could be open for a move away from Spain.
Sergio Aguero also made the shift from Atletico Madrid to Manchester City and Joao Felix has all the ingredients in his locker to be as successful as the legendary Argentine.
Still only 21, Joao Felix has immense potential and the style of play under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City could unlock his full potential. With Sergio Aguero being linked with a move to Spain, Joao Felix could well be heading the other way in this summer's transfer window.
#2 Harry Kane - Tottenham Hotspur
Harry Kane is a proven Premier League performer who could replace Sergio Aguero at Manchester City. The Tottenham striker, just like Sergio Aguero, has been one of the most consistent performers in the Premier League in the last few seasons.
Capable of scoring goals and linking up with teammates, Harry Kane created a stir when he admitted recently that he was unsure about his Tottenham future. Speaking to reporters during the recent international break, Kane when asked about his future said:
“I think that’s a hard question to answer right now. I always like to be focused on one goal and one job and that’s to finish strong with Spurs, win these qualifiers with England and hopefully go on and have a great Euros.
“Look, I try to stay out of that speculation as much as possible. I’m fully focused on doing the job on the pitch from now until the end of the summer and then we’ll see where we go from there.”
#1 Erling Haaland - Borussia Dortmund
The player tipped to become a global superstar in the coming years, Erling Haaland, is the perfect replacement for Sergio Aguero at Manchester City. A potential future Ballon d'Or winner, Haaland has been in stunning goalscoring form this season, scoring a frankly astonishing 33 goals in 31 total appearances for Borussia Dortmund.
With his father, Alf-Inge Haaland, having played for Manchester City before, Erling Haaland could be motivated to follow in his father's footsteps and join Manchester City in the summer.
Replacing Sergio Aguero, who is arguably Manchester City's greatest player, is no easy task, but if anyone can do it, it is Erling Braut Haaland.
