However, the city boss is afraid that the club could fight for priority signing if they do not play in an elite competition in European club football.

“It depends on the players we want and have only one option,” Guardiola said.

“If they have a lot, I’m pretty sure the players, of course, look at those in the Champions League.

“Maybe players come anyway, and there are others who say they don’t want to go because of no Champions League. I don’t know. I didn’t talk to one player potentially for the next season, so I don’t know.”

As for some current city crops of players who leave if the Champions League football is not achieved, Guardiola added: “They have contracts. In addition to Kevin (de Bruyne), everyone else has contracts.

“The club and the organization decide what is best. The club works, of course, behind the scenes what they have to do, but I’m worried about these six (premier leagues) games and FA cups.

“After that, a week, 10 days, the fifth of June, we start again with seven days before flying to the United States and preparing for the (club) World Cup.”
