Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is reportedly set to sign a contract extension which will keep him at the club until 2025.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is reportedly set to sign a contract extension which will keep him at the club until 2025.

The 51-year-old, who has been in charge at the Etihad Stadium since the summer of 2016, has just over 12 months remaining on his current deal.

However, the Daily Mirror reports that the Spaniard's brother Pere Guardiola has already held talks with City about extending his stay, and the club are growing increasingly confident that he will put pen to paper on a new two-year deal.

The report adds that Guardiola still believes that he has unfinished business with the Citizens and he is willing to sign a new contract even if they win the Champions League this season.

The future of Guardiola is also understood to have been discussed during negotiations with Erling Braut Haaland's representatives, with City ensuring that the 21-year-old striker that he will work under the Spanish boss should he decide to move to the Etihad this summer.

Guardiola recently expressed how "incredibly happy" he is at City and that he has a strong relationship with the club's hierarchy, but he refused to be drawn on speculation over a new contract after Liverpool announced on Thursday that Jurgen Klopp extended his own deal until 2026.

The Catalan boss has won 10 trophies during his six-year reign at City and more silverware could be on its way this season, as the Citizens are still in the hunt for both the Premier League and Champions League.
