The 28-year-old has a deal with City through the end of next sesaon, and Guardiola is keen to see the German international commit his future to the club.

Guardiola's current deal runs through the 2020-21 campaign, but the manager is considering extending his contract an additional two seasons beyond that.

Should he stay through 2023, Guardiola would have been at the helm of City for seven seasons.
