Pep Guardiola's agent provides update on Man City contract stance and Barcelona links

Pep Guardiola's agent says the Manchester City boss has no plans to leave the Etihad, amid some suggestions he may return to Barcelona.

City's latest Champions League exit, their third at the quarter final stage in as many seasons, has prompted some questions over Guardiola's future.

With Barcelona set to sack Quique Setien after their humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, there have been some suggestions they may try to tempt Guardiola back to the Nou Camp to rebuild the club.

However, Guardiola has always insisted he will honour his contract at City, which currently runs until the end of the 2020/21 season, even before the club's Champions League ban was overturned.

Now, his agent, Josep Maria Orobitg, has offered a strong hint that Guardiola sees his near future at City, saying any return to Barcelona is 'currently impossible.'

He told Goal : “Yes, Pep will stay at City 100 per cent.”
