Pep Guardiola 'eyeing move for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez' with Manchester City boss prioritising search for Sergio Aguero's successor after signing new deal at club

Manchester City are weighing up a move for Benfica forward Darwin Nunez as the club step up their search for a long-term successor to Sergio Aguero, according to reports.

City boss Pep Guardiola signed a new two-year deal earlier this week - a story first broken by Sportsmail - and is now looking to rebuild areas of his squad following his extension.

And according to The Telegraph, the Catalan's priority is to find a long-term centre forward to replace veteran forward Aguero - who turns 33 at the end of the season - especially if he decides to leave the Etihad Stadium upon the expiration of his contract in June.
