Pep Guardiola reportedly “continues to change his decision” about whether to stay at Manchester City past the end of this season.
Guardiola’s future at Man City is uncertain. His current contract has entered its last year, and it is uncertain if he will sign an extension.
Due to the Spaniard’s uncertain future, Man City has been linked to several possible successors, and two joint favourites are currently in the running to take his place at the Etihad.
After failing to get an English job, Guardiola is “more likely” to “extend for one year,” according to a report published last week by reputable journalist David Ornstein.
Ornstein told NBC Sports that the FA would have needed to modify their plans because Pep Guardiola was not in a position to commit at that time.
“I did some research after the Guardiola story broke about a week ago, and it seemed very evident to me that Pep Guardiola would probably stay at Manchester City for another year more than anything else, including the England position.
He always has a tendency to make his choice quite late. His last six months were drawing near when I announced in November 2022 that he would be signing his final contract. Additionally, keep in mind that Txiki Begiristain, the sporting director, is departing.
The statement made by Pep Guardiola that “part of me is leaving” has been taken to mean “part of me is staying.” Therefore, Pep Guardiola may continue to lead City.
Guardiola “continues to change his decision,” according to a Spanish publication, and has “requested the bomb signing of the summer to continue.”
The club allegedly “knows” that the acquisition of Florian Wirtz, a sensation from Bayer Leverkusen, would persuade Guardiola to stay for an additional season.
According to reports, Wirtz is the “main target” to succeed Kevin De Bruyne, whose contract is also set to expire in 2025. It is said that as “rumours of a move to Saudi Arabia grow stronger,” his future is “increasingly uncertain.”
Although other teams are vying for Wirtz’s services, the source asserts that Man City has “already taken the first steps” to sign him for the upcoming season.
