# Manchester City: Fans hype links with Lautaro Martinez as ‘Aguero replacement’

**After a photo of Lautaro Martinez’ brother [emerged on social media](https://twitter.com/city_chief/status/1209579426587000838?s=21) of him wearing a Manchester City jersey, some Sky Blues supporters have hyped up links with the Inter Milan striker – with some suggesting he could be a potential future replacement for Sergio Aguero.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”269486″\]

The San Siro man has been touted (via [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/premier-league/20191218/472326763558/el-city-se-une-a-la-puja-por-lautaro.html)) to sign at the Etihad in recent weeks, especially considering City legend Aguero is approaching the twilight years of his career – with fellow blues striker Gabriel Jesus potentially needing a partner up front.

Martinez, who has bagged [eight goals in 14 Serie A starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/299344/Show/Lautaro-Mart%C3%ADnez) for the league leaders this season, is seen as a [hot prospect throughout Europe](https://www.squawka.com/en/features/lautaro-martinez-dream-realistic-wildcard-inter-milan) – with his photo revelation getting a lot of supporters buzzing over the Argentine penning a deal at Eastlands.

In response to the picture, the general consensus among supporters is one of excitement – with some fans lauding the striker as a favourable addition to Pep Guardiola’s side. Indeed, it seemed to spark memories of a certain Isco, who was pictured wearing a Manchester City top amid links with a move to the [club a number of years ago](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/real-madrid-transfer-isco-guardiola-14466389).

Here’s what they had to say on Twitter.

> Pep please get us him or Havertz once Sane leaves. Also we NEED to either get Koulibaly or hijack Ake to Chelsea so we can sign him
