Pep Guardiola's contract with Man City expires next year and the Spaniard could leave the Etihad after the 2024/25 season ends.

The Mirror reports that Man City have plans to strongly support Pep Guardiola's successor if the former Barca captain decides not to sign a new deal.

The club's board are reportedly preparing a transfer package of up to £300m to hand over to Pep Guardiola's replacement. They understand that the new Man City manager will need a large financial resource to bring in top recruits for his new empire at the Etihad.

Man City are confident with their abundant financial resources and spend without worry, because they earned a lot of money (more than 140 million pounds) from selling players in the last summer transfer.

In the 2024 summer shopping period, Pep Guardiola's squad only added Savinho and brought back former captain Ilkay Gundogan from Barca after just 1 season, on a free transfer.

But if Pep Guardiola leaves next year, Man City are expected to have a busy summer of 2025 shopping to support their new captain.

In the ongoing campaign, Pep Guardiola's Man City are leading the Premier League with 9 absolute points after 3 rounds, thanks to a better secondary index than Liverpool.
