Pep Guardiola has again been linked to the Manchester City job with Mundo Deportivo's Francesc Aguilar reporting there’s a secret agreement already in place.

Txiki Begiristain is City's director of football and was in charge of Barcelona when Guardiola was hired in 2008.

Manuel Pellegrini signed an extension in August that runs through 2017.

On the latest Guardiola rumor, Sergio Aguero said: “It has been talked about a lot. I don’t know him, but he’s a great manager and it’s wonderful to have the best managers train you.”

But he also added: “I’m very good with Manuel Pellegrini, we talk a lot. I’m happy in the team and with him, but the club will be the one who chooses who comes in.”

Guardiola is in the final season of his current Bayern Munich deal.
