Pep Guardiola could be set to leave Manchester City when the season wraps up, according to a source close to Arsenal.

Information shared by HandofArsenal suggests the Spanish manager is edging closer to a decision to step down. Meanwhile, City has already started planning for life after Guardiola.

Enzo Maresca is reportedly the frontrunner to take over the team, with talks about his appointment reportedly well advanced.

The club is said to be fully aware of the potential change and is making future plans that exclude Guardiola, including discussions about symbolic gestures to honor his tenure.

Despite all this, there’s no official confirmation yet. Leading journalists remain cautious, wary of Guardiola’s unpredictability.

Manchester City isn’t expected to comment on the matter until the season concludes, as the Premier League title race remains intense.
