Guardiola begins negotations with Bayern?


Is Pep Guardiola on his way to Bayern Munich?  Twitter imploded today tweets linking the two powerhouses due to a supposed report from Sky Italia.  However, the report of circulating around the negotiation mysteriously disappeared from their site or perhaps it did not exist in the first place.  Nevertheless, the high number of people buzzing about the possible link brought the question of what Pep would do once his sabbatical was over to the forefront again (as if it truly went away in the first place).  Bayern Munich is but one of the clubs he has been linked to.  The laundry list includes the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, AC Milan, and Chelsea FC. 

Intrigued, I typed "Pep to Bayern?" into the search bar and Google provided a plethora of possible negotiations.  In the midst of the rumor mill, I would like to remind folks that the former Barça coach is on a year-long sabbatical and his manager has repeatedly reminded press that the 41-year-old would not even consider offers at this time.  Additionally, current Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes has done great things for the club.  Is the Bundesliga team ready to part ways?  Yes, Heynckes' contract expires at the end of the season, but the window is still wide open for renewal.  The 67-year-old stated that he would wait until March to make a decision.  So for the time being, proceed with caution.

Pep Guardiola is currently enjoying his time away from football in the Upper West Side of Manhattan with his family.
