Pep Guardiola will announce today his plans for next season - with claims inside Barcelona that he will walk away from the club. Reports on Thursday morning claimed the 41-year-old had already held a meeting with club president Sandro Rosell, at which he outlined his future plans.

He will convey that message to the players when they reconvene for training on Friday ahead of Sunday's trip to Rayo Vallecano, and then - according to the Spanish press on Thursday evening - will hold a joint press conference alongside Rosell.

The press conference is reportedly due to start at 1200 local time.
