Report: Guardiola agrees to take over Manchester City next season?

Pep Guardiola has reportedly set his sights on taking over as Manchester City manager next season.

The Spaniard’s future has been a constant talking point over the last few months as his contract at Bayern Munich comes to an end in the summer.

There were reports earlier this week claiming that Guardiola is close to signing a new deal at the Allianz Arena. However, Spanish radio station Cadena COPE has claimed that the 44-year-old has already agreed to replace Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season.

Pellegrini penned a new contract in the summer, but it is believed that City will part with the Chilean boss should Guardiola become available. Guardiola will reportedly meet with Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge next month to discuss his future.
