Sources close to Pep Guardiola have vehemently denied claims he is set to take over at Juventus.

Reports in Italy on Friday sensationally claimed the Man City manager had verbally agreed to succeed Massimiliano Allegri at the end of season.

At a time when the Premier League champions are being investigated by Fifa, Uefa and the Premier League over allegations they breached Financial Fair Play regulations, Guardiola’s own future has come into question.

City could face Champions League disqualification and a transfer ban if found guilty.

But sources close to Guardiola insist there is no truth to claims he is looking for an exit route.

The Catalan has offered his backing to the club’s hierarchy amid a series of allegations regarding financial wrongdoing.

City also deny the claims, which were brought to light by whistle-blower Football Leaks.

Among the allegations are claims City over-inflated sponsorship deals to avoid FFP penalties.

Guardiola came out fighting on Friday - insisting his achievements at the Etihad would not be tarnished by the allegations.

“When you are fighting, people want to underestimate what you achieve,” he said. “I’m not too much concerned or worried about what people say.

“If we win the title just because what happens now with Uefa (and) they do not give us credit for what we have done, believe me I… don’t… care! Absolutely zero.

“I know exactly what the guys are doing for the last two seasons and more and that is what remains my feelings.

“If we have made mistakes we will be punished. It is what it is on and off the pitch - but I’m pretty sure what we have done is incredible. Incredible.

“I don’t know whether it is important for the rest of the people, but it is important for ourselves.

“When we did it (win) it belongs to us and nobody is going to change that.”

But Guardiola has previously received assurances from the club’s hierarchy that they have not acted improperly and on Thursday City issued a robust statement, saying: “The accusation of financial irregularities are entirely false. The Club’s published accounts are full and complete and a matter of legal and regulatory record.”

Guardiola added: “They know how people press, push to find something wrong. I work with them and have known them for a long, long time. I trust them a lot.

“After that, we’ll see. What I wish is clarification as quickly as possible, for Uefa to see what we have done.

“If it is not good then okay, we will accept it. If everything is right then it will finish and we move forward.

“My position depends on if I lose games. Then I can be in trouble. But if we win we are safe.

“I’m involved with my team. I’m part of the club and back them 100 percent.”
