I do wonder if the best answer to all this media chatter that will carry on especially after Klopp going would be for City and Pep to come to an understanding, he signs another year with an agreement he can decide next January to walk away after a year no problem. There is enough trust for it not even to be written into the contract.
Klopp signed till '26 did he not? And left a year later with loads of time on his contract. If that were to happen the club and all of us would no doubt understand.
But the way I see it, Pep values loyalty and reliability. If he signs a contract, whether it is 1 year, 2 or 3, he sees it out. He only signs what he is confident he can do.
I really don't think he does soundbites. If he says he likes it here, he likes it here. If he says he'll think about it, he will. If he says he doesn’t know, then he is not sitting on anything. And when he says he has had enough, he will have had enough. That's how I see it, and am happy with that.
