Pep Guardiola wants to be at Manchester City next season and intends to honour his contract, which runs until 2025.
The 53-year-old is bidding to win a sixth Premier League title with City on Sunday, just needing to beat West Ham on the final day of the season to secure his fourth on the spin.
The Spaniard has done it all at the club after ticking off the treble last season, the first Champions League title in Manchester City’s history.
There is little more for him to accomplish at the Etihad but he has not intention of leaving the club this summer, with his current contract running until 2025.
‘Yeah, I have a contract. I want to be here next season, yes,’ he said of his future.
Guardiola is not thinking about much beyond this weekend, though, and had little to say when asked about which players could be leaving or arriving at Manchester City this summer.
The only players he was keen to speak about were the threats that West Ham have in their weaponry on Sunday.

‘Next season? I don’t know about next season. We have to see how we finish,’ he said. ‘Sometimes the decision depends on how we finish the season. The players have done a good season already. Nothing will change that, but we have to wait.
‘Now I’m not thinking one second about next season. Because it’s West Ham, four players up front who can create something.
‘[Mohammed] Kudus is an exceptional player. [Jarrod] Bowen for many years and [Michail] Antonio, when he’s fit, is unbelievable. [Lucas] Paqueta is a top-class player in that he can do many things.
‘That’s why. All four from nothing they can do something unique and special. That is my only concern right now.
‘Next season will be next season.’
