Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola could be handed a new contract at the Premier League club, with the deal hiking his salary.
According to a report from Daily Mirror, Manchester City are prepared to offer Pep Guardiola a lucrative deal to keep him at the club for the long term.
Pep Guardiola currently earns £20 million per season at Manchester City, and they are hoping to tie him down to an extension. His current contract at the club expires next year, and Manchester City do not want to lose him anytime soon.
According to the report, Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour is looking to launch a charm offensive to keep him at the club. The Spanish manager had a meeting with the Manchester City owner during the week, and it will be interesting to see if they can persuade him to sign a new deal with the club.
Club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has also promised to do everything in his power to convince the manager to stay. Guardiola has been exceptional for Manchester City since taking over, guiding them to every major trophy in club competitions. They have dominated the Premier League ever since his arrival, and his departure will be a massive blow for the club.
Guardiola is undoubtedly the best manager in the world, and Manchester City will not be able to replace him. It makes sense for them to do their best to keep him at the club. Manchester City fans will certainly hope that the Spanish manager can continue at the club beyond 2025.
Pep Guardiola to try out a new challenge?
Guardiola has already proven himself in Spain, Germany, and England. It remains to be seen whether the Spaniard is attracted to trying out a new challenge at this stage of his career. He has nothing left to prove in the Premier League with Manchester City and might fancy a new opportunity next year.
The Catalan tactician has been linked with international management in the past, and it will be interesting to see if he is ready to consider other options in the coming months. There is unlikely to be any shortage of interest in him if he decides to move on next summer.
