And the departures have left Aguero scratching his head as to the reasoning behind them, with the former star explaining that he found the sale of Sterling in particular peculiar.
“I don’t understand the sale of Sterling, there are times they (City) make strange decisions”, the club’s all-time leading goalscorer told viewers.
