The Brazil international, who is currently away on Copa America duty, was restricted to just eight Premier League starts in 2018-19 due to the goalscoring form of Aguero.
That led to speculation last month suggesting City are prepared to offload Jesus during the close-season in order to raise funds to bring in other players.
But the 22-year-old sees his future at the Etihad Stadium and insists he is respectful of Aguero’s status at the club, which has forced him to settle for a back-up role.
“He is a legend at the club - he’s the top scorer [of all time],” he told the Daily Mail. “Obviously as a player I always want to play, but I’m happy to help and I respect Sergio.
“I think it’s out of the question that Aguero leaves, and me too.”
