Josep Guardiola addresses his Man City future – “What’s next?”

Manchester City defender Josep Guardiola has spoken about his future after attracting interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Josep Guardiola says he has everything he needs to be happy at Manchester City but did not commit to his future at the club. The Croatian defender has addressed transfer speculation without shutting it down as he prepares for the World Cup.

City are hoping to tie Guardiola down to a long-term deal, with his contract expiring in the summer of 2028.

They are still trying to tie him down to a long-term deal but have yet to do so, and Barcelona and Bayern Munich have been linked with a move for the 24-year-old in recent times.

Guardiol is again performing well on the biggest stage this summer with Croatia, having worked hard to recover from a broken leg in January that could have ruled him out of the World Cup.

He made his debut against Crystal Palace just four months after suffering the injury, and the centre-back has been able to link up with his national team as he aims to excel once again.

Asked about his future in the Croatia camp, Guardiola was happy to dispel the rumours and discuss his satisfaction with his situation at the Etihad.

However, he still left some uncertainty about what will happen after the World Cup.

“We’ve all seen the different rumours coming from every direction. I’m happy at Man City; I have everything I need. Before the injury, I played almost a full 90 minutes in every game. After the World Cup we’ll see what happens next,” he said.

City’s players will have to deal with the first change of manager at the club for ten years this summer after Pep Guardiola opted to end his stay at the Etihad. Enzo Maresca will replace him, and Guardiola is confident the club will have the team in the right place.

“Unfortunately he [Guardiola] decided that his journey would end. Ever since he arrived, we have all seen how many trophies he has lifted.

We learned a lot. Everyone who had the opportunity to work with him became a better player and person. I am confident that Manchester City will choose the right new coach and continue where we left off.
