Sky Sports says City management are desperate for the Catalan to stay, but will not wait until the last moment for Guardiola to make a decision.
Instead, City want to know Guardiola's final plans by Christmas.
City hope Guardiola agrees to a new contract extension, though also want enough time to find a successor should he decide this season will be his last in charge.
