It won’t come cheap, with rent understood to be an eye-watering £8,000 a month.
The 3,180 sq ft property comes with three en-suite bedrooms, a study, walk-in wardrobes, and a 24-hour ‘dedicated service team’. It is not known whether Aguero, City’s all-time record-goalscorer, who currently lives in a mansion in leafy Hale Barns, will move into the flat himself or potentially use it as a city centre base or investment opportunity.
It has been reported he also has a flat in Spinningfields, which he has rented out to City teammates, such as Gabriel Jesus, when they first arrive in the city.

If Aguero does choose to up sticks and follow boss Pep Guardiola in living in the centre of town, he will wake every morning to the most astonishing views.
