However, the 22-year-old has failed miserably to reach these high standards and has only scored two goals in 24 appearances for the club in all competitions.
As for Inter, they are exploring the market for a replacement for Lautaro Martinez, who is expected to seal a move to Barcelona this summer.
However, Schira also claims City "don’t want to sell El Kun" this summer.
Real and Inter could also face competition from Aguero's boyhood club Independiente.
The striker has spoken about his desire to return to Independiente before he hangs up his boots and last year, he said: "I always try [to get back to Argentina].

"I know what the fans [of Independiente] want, but I have a contract with City, and I try to focus on these two years I've got left.
"Then I'll see what I'll do but of course, the Rojo [Independiente] is my priority."
Aguero is currently fourth in the all-time Premier League goalscoring list with 180 goals.
He is seven away from equalling third-placed Andrew Cole and 28 behind second-place Wayne Rooney but is still 80 off equalling Alan Shearer's astonishing tally of 260 goals.
