Pep Guardiola hopes to remain at Manchester City beyond this season despite Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font saying he wants him to return.
Font, who is the frontrunner to replace Josep Maria Bartomeu following his resignation earlier this week, said he wants to bring Guardiola back to the Nou Camp while also holding onto Lionel Messi.
Guardiola is in the final year of his contract with City but hopes to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium.
"I am incredibly happy here," said Guardiola. "I'm delighted to be in Manchester and I hope I can do a good job this season to stay longer."
Guardiola has had to deal with a host of injuries in the early part of the season, a problem he feels has been exacerbated by the shortened summer break and the intensity of the pandemic-affected calendar.
Other clubs have also been affected and Guardiola has urged the Premier League to consider reverting to allowing five substitutes, as they did in the closing stages of last season after lockdown.
"Definitely they should, 100 per cent," said the City boss. "It is not only about one club.
