‘Pay him whatever!’, ‘Worth every penny’ – Man City fans react to Pep Guardiola salary as he agree a new contract

Pep Guardiola’s salary is set to increase, after the Manchester City manager reportedly agreed a new contract at the club.

The Catalan’s current deal is due to expire at the end of this season, but he is set to put pen to paper on a new deal that could run until 2025.

According to The Athletic, the contract will be structured as a one-year deal, with both club and employee holding an option for a further season.

The deal means that Man City fans can look forward to at least one more full season under the guidance of their legendary manager, and most likely two, which would bring Guardiola’s time at the Etihad Stadium up to nine years.

It has also been reported that the 51-year-old will be given an increase on his current £20 million-a-year salary.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“20M a year. That’s like 384K per week. Extension probably gets him to 400K. He’s a superstar at the club and deserves it.”
