Guardiola has long been the target of rumours linking him with a number of sides, including Milan, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.

Jose Maria Orobitg told radio station TMW: "Guardiola isn't going to Milan? Who told you that? I am Guardiola's manager, not his brother Pere.

"Anything is possible next year. I speak to (Milan vice-president Adriano) Galliani all the time, and when I speak to him he is very friendly. We have a good relationship. Who knows what will happen in the future?

"Milan is an option, as are Manchester City and Chelsea. Pep is listening to offers and evaluating them. But Guardiola will not coach this year. We'll talk about it in June."
