Pep Guardiola Suggests Possible Manchester City Exit Following Fourth Consecutive Premier League Triumph

After securing an unprecedented fourth Premier League title in a row with Manchester City, Pep Guardiola hinted at a potential departure from the club next season. Guardiola, whose contract expires next summer, indicated that discussions have taken place with the club regarding his future, stating, "The reality is I am closer to leaving than staying. We have talked with the club – my feeling is that I want to stay now. I will stay next season and during the season we will talk. But [after] eight or nine years, we will see."

City's 3-1 victory over West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium sealed their sixth title in seven seasons under Guardiola, ending Arsenal's aspirations of clinching their first championship in two decades.

Reflecting on City's dominance, Guardiola emphasized the club's remarkable achievements, stating, "In terms of numbers, nobody has been better than us – the records, the goals, the points and four in a row." He highlighted City's "insane" numbers and record fourth-consecutive crown as evidence of their dominance, surpassing the achievements of other English giants such as Liverpool and Manchester United.

Guardiola also acknowledged Arsenal's resurgence under manager Mikel Arteta, crediting them for pushing City to their limits. He praised Arsenal's performance throughout the season and cautioned City about the need to strengthen their squad in the upcoming transfer window to maintain their competitive edge.

As Guardiola contemplates his future at Manchester City, the focus now shifts to the FA Cup final against Manchester United, where City will aim to secure another domestic double.
