Andre Silva wanted to replace Kun Aguero at Manchester City

Pep Guardiola is looking for a No 9 after Sergio Aguero left the club to join Barcelona as a free agent.

Per Sport Bild, the coach has found his target, Andre Silva, the 25-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt hitman.

The Portugal international costs 40 million euros. He has scored 28 goals in 32 games this season for the German side.

Guardiola’s other objectives are Harry Kane and Erling Haaland, but they would cost far more than Andre Silva will.

Silva is in the Portugal squad for Euro 2020 and will be hoping to continue his fine form there.
