He will be leaving as one of the club’s all-time greats and the board has also assured that a statue of the player would be erected outside the stadium.

Guadiola has said the superstar will never be matched as soon as he leaves the club, adding that Aguero is irreplaceable. He said via Mirror:

“Sergio is irreplaceable. I could say in terms of numbers he could be replaceable but it’s not easy. When you see around 360 games and more than 250 goals, the amount of titles.
“He’s a legend, the best striker I ever had at this club… but he is irreplaceable".
