‘Pep Please!’, ‘Just sign the contract’ – Man City fans react as Guardiola drops hint on his own future amidst Jurgen Klopp contract extension

Pep Guardiola has congratulated Jurgen Klopp after the Liverpool manager signed a contract extension to stay at Anfield for the next four years at least.

The Catalan boss’ current deal is set to run out in the summer of 2023, and he has mentioned on multiple occasions that he remains unsure about whether to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium or take a breather after a taxing spell at the club.

As Liverpool announced Jurgen Klopp’s contract extension until 2026 on Thursday, the Catalan boss was quizzed about whether his managerial rivals’ decision to prolong his time on Merseyside has prompted him to do the same in Manchester.

“I don’t know. Leeds is the focus, an important thing. Congratulations to Jurgen and Liverpool, It’s really good for the Premier League. I wish them all the best,” he said.

“Everyone has their situation and if we decide to stay longer, it’s because I decide not because my colleague Jurgen extended.”

The news has brought further speculation about Guardiola’s own future, his contract coming to an end next summer.

“No no no, honestly, I’m so concerned about the last three weeks of the season, I don’t have time,” Guardiola persisted.

“I have the feeling one year is a long time, six years. I’m enjoying my time. I have an incredible relationship with my club.

“You know my opinion. I’m incredibly happy, I couldn’t be in a better place than here. I cannot visualize a better place, but it’s not just about me, it’s about other situations. Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen often.”

These Guardiola’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
