Barcelona icon Carles Rexach expects Pep Guardiola to sign his new contract this month.

Rexach is an adviser to president Sandro Rosell and is convinced Guardiola will put the club first.

"I think this is coming soon. This month it shall be done with relative ease. Pep is a smart guy and knows that everyone is aware of the situation and that a club like Barca cannot be suffering over this speculation.

"In addition, many people around him depend on this," said Rexach.
