Guardiola agrees terms over new Man City contract

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is ready to sign a new contract.

The Sun says Guardiola has agreed a 'deal in principle' to remain at Manchester City until 2025.

Guardiola, who is coming towards the end of his sixth season in charge of City, only has 14 months to run on his current contract at the Etihad.

Yet, the Spaniard has now agreed to extend his stay in Manchester for another two years after Premier League title rival Jurgen Klopp signed new Liverpool terms on Friday.

Klopp had previously claimed he would walk away from Anfield when his previous deal expired in 2024, only to put pen to paper on a two-year extension of his own amid his side's unprecedented Quadruple bid.

When asked if the German's renewal would tempt him to sign a new contract at City, Guardiola said on Friday: "No no no, honestly I'm so concerned about the last three weeks of the season I don't have time."

However, it is believed he has now given the green light for City chiefs to commit his future until 2025 - which could prove the final piece of the jigsaw in their pursuit of Erling Haaland.
