Guardiola is planning to sign the contract immediately if Manchester City is severely sanctioned by the Premier League.
“Coach Pep Guardiola is known to be likely to sign a new contract if Manchester City is punished for violating financial fair play,” British media “Goalcom” reported on the 17th (Korea Standard Time). 토토사이트
City has now been accused of violating financial fair play rules for nine years, from 2009 to 2018. According to the Premier League, City has violated the rules by not providing accurate financial information. Meanwhile, City has strongly denied the allegations related to the irregularities and vowed to clear up the unfairness.
Hearings on the aforementioned allegations began last month, but they are currently ongoing and have been held behind closed doors, with little information available to the public. The trial will last 10 weeks and is widely reported to have a verdict in early 2025.
However, a verdict is expected before the end of this year, according to a new report by the British media The Athletic. If convicted, there are rumors that various sanctions will be imposed, ranging from point deduction to England’s exit from the first division.
Meanwhile, Manchester City is in another bind because Guardiola’s future is set to expire in the summer of 2025. There are talks that Guardiola could take the helm of Manchester City for 10 years if he agrees to an extension contract until 2026.
According to the media, Guardiola will quickly sign a renewal paper if Manchester City is severely sanctioned by the Premier League, and the media said, “It’s partly a decision out of rebellion, and partly to not leave the club he fell in love with in a difficult position.”
Earlier, Guardiola had made his feelings clear when asked about the need to protect Manchester City amid the ongoing legal battle with the Premier League.
Guardiola said, “I am a part of this club deep in my bones. I am a part of this club. I love this club and I will always be. The way you treat me from the beginning cannot be different. It is impossible.”
In addition to Guardiola’s remarks, it is also argued that Manchester City did not insert a clause related to the possibility of relegation from the Premier League in the contracts of the new players. Manchester City’s official position is that “there is nothing to worry about,” and the players were advised to continue playing soccer without worrying.
