MANCHESTER - Sergio Aguero has promised Manchester City he will not quit English football after one season and return to Spain with Real Madrid even if Roberto Mancini’s side fail to win the Premier League title.The Argentine has scored 24 goals since joining City for £38million from Real’s neighbours Atletico Madrid last summer.Bernabeu president Florentino Perez is reported to have made Aguero, 23, his top target and is willing to sacrifice his Argentina team-mate Gonzalo Higuain to fund the move.But Aguero said: ‘None of that has come from me and the City fans can rest assured I’m happy here.‘First and foremost the major aim is to win the league title this season. Then I want to stay here for a long time after that.‘From the moment I arrived everyone has treated me really well and it’s down to me to repay that kindness and good feeling I’ve had from everyone.’ Aguero was signed to replace Carlos Tevez before his compatriot failed to secure a move away from the Etihad Stadium.The two strikers have started just one game together for City this season, but Augero equalised from the penalty spot against Chelsea in midweek and Tevez came off the bench after a six-month absence to set up a late winner.
