The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss is reportedly more inclined to sign a new contract at City if the club faces serious penalties over the 115 Financial Fair Play charges they are facing.
The reigning Premier League champions are embroiled in a case that has raised numerous questions about their financial practices.
As speculation mounts regarding the potential consequences for City, which could include anything from points deductions to expulsion from the English top flight, Guardiola's future has become another point of contention.
His current contract is set to expire in the summer of 2025, but there are whispers that he might agree to an extension that would see him reach a decade of service at the Etihad Stadium by 2026.
According to reports from The Athletic, Guardiola's willingness to commit to a new deal could be influenced by the severity of any sanctions imposed by the Premier League.
The suggestion is that his decision would be driven by a sense of defiance and a desire not to leave a club he has grown to love in a difficult situation.
