Pep Guardiola will not return to Bayern Munich this summer but there is great uncertainty over his Man City future, sources have told Football Insider.
The Spaniard, 53, has been widely linked with the vacancy at Bayern with Thomas Tuchel set to depart at the end of this season.
Guardiola is under contract at Man City until June 2025 after penning his last extension in November 2023.
The Premier League champions are desperate to prolong his stay in Manchester but it is believed they are aware the final decision will lie with the former Barcelona boss.
A top source has told Football Insider say City are not likely to put pressure on him to renew his contract in the coming months.
