Manchester City are reportedly hopeful that manager Pep Guardiola will sign a new contract before the end of the year.
The 51-year-old has spent the last six-and-a-half years in charge of the Citizens, but his current contract is due to expire at the end of the season.
Guardiola has won 11 trophies during his time at the Etihad, including four Premier League titles in the last five seasons, and the Spaniard is bidding to get his hands on a fifth English top-flight crown this term.
Talks between Guardiola and Man City over a new contract are believed to have been taking place for some time, and 90min claims that both parties have a 'broad agreement' which would see the Citizens boss commit his future to the club until June 2025.
The report adds that City remain calm about Guardiola's contract situation and they are 'very confident ' that he will put pen to paper on fresh terms before the end of the year.
Guardiola is currently enjoying his longest spell as a manager at the same club, with the 2022-23 campaign his seventh in charge at Man City.
The Catalan boss spent four years in charge of Barcelona between 2008 and 2012 before joining German giants Bayern Munich, where he took the reins for three years between 2013 and 2016.
Guardiola is believed to have aspirations to return to USA at some stage of his coaching career; the Spaniard spent a year-long sabbatical in New York before taking charge of Bayern Munich.
90min adds that City Football Group have informed Guardiola that he is welcome to take charge of MLS outfit New York City FC – who are currently managed by former Man City Women's boss Nick Cushing – if he decides to leave the Etihad at the end of his current contract.
It is thought, however, that Guardiola is happy to remain in charge of the Citizens beyond this season and he recently hinted that his players and the club's supporters are giving him the "energy" to continue.
Speaking to reporters, via the Independent, after City's last-gasp 2-1 victory over Fulham on Saturday, Guardiola said: "This is not (just) me to them, or them to me. This is a feedback. I give them enthusiasm but they give it to me.
"The way they play, I see the faces of our people. They give me the energy for the future, for Chelsea and Brentford. I cannot disappoint them, I have to be there with them."
Guardiola added: "What I'm proud of most is that, after seven years, still we can perform like we've performed this season. We can play good, bad, win or lose, but when you lose it's always what do we have to do to do better.
"You see the team not give up, the way they played after the sending off, some decisions. It was a perfect amount of grumpy energy that you need for 10 versus 11. Otherwise, you can give up. That's why we compete until the end."
Meanwhile, star playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has suggested that it would be "easier" for Guardiola to remain at Man City having instilled his philosophy at the club over a lengthy period of time.
"I think [Guardiola] is more and more relaxed as he's been so long with us," De Bruyne told reporters. "I think for him it is also easier because if you go to a new team you have to teach again.
"Now after seven years it is repeating itself, so I feel there is less of an edge sometimes and maybe it is more calm for him. But to be honest I don't know. I don't think you'll get too much out of him. Everything is fine. He's got his contract until the end of the year and after that we'll see."
Should Guardiola decide to call time on his reign at the Etihad, Man City have allegedly identified Arsenal's Mikel Arteta and Bayern Munich's Julian Nagelsmann as potential successors.
