Xavi urges Man City to buy Aguero replacement | OneFootball

Al Sadd coach Xavi says Manchester City need to buy a new striker to replace Sergio Aguero.

Aguero, who is now entering the twilight years of his career at the age of 32, missed last week's 3-1 Champions League defeat to Lyon through injury and Xavi fears that City need to replace him sooner rather than later.

"They have got to the stage that you see at all big clubs, where some very important players are coming to the end of their careers," Barcelona legend Xavi told the Daily Star.

"Kompany was one of the best central defenders in the world and there are maybe one or two defenders in the world that can replace him at his peak.

"For [David] Silva it is the same. He is a once-in-a-generation player and it is going to cost big money to try and replace him.

"Aguero has one season left. How many strikers in Europe are there that will guarantee you 30 goals a season like he has for so long?"
