MANCHESTER CITY give Atletico Madrid just over £210,000 every time Sergio Aguero scores 15 goals, Football Leaks has revealed.
The Argentina hitman has bagged 152 times in all competitions since moving to the Etihad in 2011 for £38million, according to statistics website Soccerbase.
That means City bosses have so far paid the La Liga side just north of a further £2.1m for Aguero's services.

Football Leaks say the deal is part of a subtle clause inserted in Aguero's contract.
With two Premier League titles to his name - including 30 goals in his debut season - you could say it was money well spent.
For City, his 94th-minute strike against Queens Park Rangers that secured the 2011-12 title on the final day of the season was almost priceless.
That goal gave the Citizens their first top-flight title in 44 years and made Aguero a hero at the club.
