Pep Guardiola is nearly halfway through his initial three-year deal with Manchester City that expires after the 18-19 season.

While Guardiola hasn't begun extension talks, it is expected he will remain beyond his current term.

Guardiola is expected to discuss adding a fourth season on his contract at the end of the current season.

Sources say Guardiola feels he does not have enough time remaining on his existing contract to accomplish everything he wants at City. Guardiola not only wants to win championships, but also lay the foundation for the future of the club.
