Pep Guardiola is still yet to decide on his Manchester City future, according to reports.
The Catalan is out of contract at the end of this season.
Guardiola has publicly stated his desire to stay at City beyond this campaign.
And Goal says any extension will only be for 12 months.
Guardiola does not want to emulate Sir Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger in the belief that his players will need fresh ideas.
