Sergio Aguero was hurt by the handling of his departure from Manchester City<\/a> and did not speak to Pep Guardiola for a “couple of weeks” over the issue, according to Sam Lee of The Athletic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola and Sergio Aguero Went Weeks Without Speaking Over the Striker’s Exit<\/h2>\n

Guardiola’s Handling of the Exit Has Hurt Aguero<\/h3>\n

Manchester City revealed in April that Aguero would be leaving the club at the end of the season when his contract expires. Guardiola recently revealed<\/a> Aguero is “close” to joining Barcelona on a free transfer.<\/p>\n

The report highlighted that City’s all-time leading goalscorer was upset with the way his exit was handled and had a particular problem with Guardiola – who decided Aguero would leave.<\/p>\n

The Argentine came off the bench to score twice in Manchester City’s 5-0 victory over Everton<\/a> on the final day of the Premier League season. The 32-year-old bagged a brace to break the record of most Premier League goals (184) scored for one club.<\/p>\n

Guardiola broke down into tears over Aguero’s exit when speaking<\/a> to Sky Sports after City’s final Premier League game on Sunday. His emotional response could have been related to the reported unease between the pair over the handling of the exit.<\/p>\n

Aguero Showed Why He Will Have a Statue<\/h3>\n

Aguero supposedly put aside his unease with Guardiola and his exit to perform in the final weeks of the season. On Sunday he reminded us why he is considered a Premier League great. His interview<\/a> after his final Etihad appearance reaffirmed the belief about his humble character.<\/p>\n

He also demonstrated to Guardiola that he is worth an appearance for what could be his final ever match in a Manchester City shirt when they play Chelsea this Saturday in the Champions League final.<\/p>\n

After joining the club from Atletico Madrid ten years ago, Aguero came off the bench to score a phenomenal brace in his Etihad and Manchester City debut. His final home appearance for the club went the same way and is utterly fitting.<\/p>\n
