Multiple Italian outlets report that Pep Guardiola is evaluating a proposal following meetings in Italy with senior club officials. Paolo Maldini and Leonardo are said to have held talks with Guardiola, and he is now taking time to review what was discussed. According to the coverage, major Italian media—including Sky Sport Italia, as cited by other outlets—confirm the meeting(s) and the subsequent pause before any formal response. The reporting frames Guardiola’s decision as uncertain, with possibilities ranging from accepting a role to declining it. The accounts emphasize that no announcement has yet been made and that Guardiola’s deliberation is ongoing. While the sources differ in how they describe potential outcomes, they broadly agree on the sequence: meetings occur involving Maldini and Leonardo, Guardiola receives the proposal and time to consider it, and Italy waits for his eventual reply. Until Guardiola responds publicly or a contract is finalized, the situation remains speculative, with the primary confirmed elements being the discussions and the current evaluation period.
