# Man City: Fans rage at Sergio Aguero mural news

**Manchester City fans are livid after a mural dedicated to Sergio Aguero in the city centre was removed after his transfer to Barcelona.**

Aguero, who moved to Barca this summer after his contract ended at the Etihad Stadium ([fcbarcelona.com](https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/football/first-team/news/2163393/fc-barcelona-sign-sergio-kun-aguero)), is an unrivalled club legend.

The £16.2m-valued star ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-aguero/marktwertverlauf/spieler/26399)) is the Citizens’ record goalscorer after spending 10 years at the club ([mancity.com](https://www.mancity.com/news/first-team/first-team-news/2017/november/man-city-all-time-top-scorers-list)), and he will be forever remembered for the goal he scored in injury time against QPR in 2012 to clinch City’s first-ever Premier League title.

The iconic moment provided the inspiration for the mural, which was previously on show in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. However, to the dismay of many City supporters, it [has now been removed](https://twitter.com/FootballForAII/status/1407006011618217992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1407006011618217992%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsportsport.ba%2Ffudbal%2Fsergio-aguero-mural-manchester-uklanjanje%2F402017). Given Aguero’s importance to City, it is surprising to see it stripped down so soon.

The news was [shared on Twitter by @City\_Xtra](https://twitter.com/City_Xtra/status/1406988245364350980), and it attracted plenty of attention from the supporters. They took to the social media platform to share their thoughts, with one fan simply branding it as ‘disrespect’.
