Pep Guardiola, who joined Manchester City eight years ago, has 12 months left on his contract with the club.
Pep Guardiola is the most successful manager in Manchester City's history. During his stay, he has won 15 major trophies for the club including delivering their first UEFA Champions league trophy in the 2022/23 season.
Manchester City will give him space to make a final decision on his future. However, the club owners fear that Pep Guardiola's ninth year will be his last at Manchester City.
Reports claim Manchester City's search for a successor will begin with Girona's Michel Angel Sanchez Munoz who impressed in Laliga after he led the club to a third place finish.
Julian Nagelsmann whose contract with Germany ends in 2026 and Xabi Alonso have also been considered, while Guardiola himself admires Roberto De Zerbi.
Pep Guardiola will still be at Manchester City next season but he is unclear of the stars who will leave the club in the summer.
Al-Ittihad are targeting Ederson while Kevin De Bruyne is also a subject of interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.
Bernardo Silva has a £50 million release clause which maybe triggered by PSG while Manchester City's move for Lucas Paqueta is off after his FA charge. City are also monitoring Newcastle United's Bruno Guimaraes.
ROBERT DE ZERBI LINKED WITH CHELSEA
Roberto De Zerbi is said to be a leading candidate for the Chelsea job.
Chelsea are searching for a dynamic, forward thinking and progressive coach who fits in the club's ideology but also has experience in English football at a high level. Roberto De Zerbi looks to have all the traits and requirements stated by the club, it has been reported that he was secretly included on Chelsea's manager shortlist.
Having spent two years managing Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier league, Roberto De Zerbi led the club into Europe for the first time in their history. However, Roberto De Zerbi left Brighton by mutual consent despite having a contract until 2026. He left due to the difference in ideas and visions with the club owner Tony Bloom.
Chelsea will have to pay Brighton & Hove Albion a compensation fee of around £5 million if they manage to convince Roberto De Zerbi to become their new manager.
