The 23-year-old forward has undergone a medical at Eastlands and is on the verge of sealing a £38 million switch to the club, which would be the second most expensive transfer for a player moving to a British side.
There has been talk about the Argentina international being Diego Maradona’s son-in-law, and the Atletico Madrid man insists that it is unlikely any player will emulate the legendary former forward.
However, he believes that his ability and skill can bring about a revolution in football.
“No one will ever be exactly like Maradona again but I really think that every so often there is a total revolution in football and someone needs to be the revolutionary who starts things off. That’s me,” Aguero is quoted as saying in The Sun.
“Maradona made some ‘noise’ in his day and I want to roar a bit in my day – now!
“I like tricks, I like to dazzle, I like to be able to score a goal with one leg bent round the other so that you smack the ball into the net with your wrong foot.
“Dribbling and leaving your opponent on his backside is what life is for.
“If I achieve what I want to then I’ll mark a distinct era in football. I’m the Che Guevara of modern soccer.”
Despite Aguero having not yet completed his move to City, the club have hinted that he could play a part in the Dublin Super Cup this weekend.
