The citizens are said to be preparing for life after the era of Gaurdiola, who has delivered an unprecedented four consecutive premier league titles for the club. City should be able to give pep the chance to make his final decision on his future.

Teams that could possibly sign Guardiola if he exits city.
Guardiola being a good and tactical coach will be rushed by so many teams around the world. But pep being a no nonsense coach would be skeptical In choosing a team to manage.
He would want to manage a team he will be able to build in few years, considering how he met city, it took a year and and some months to begin to lift trophies for the club.
Teams like Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona and many of them would want pep to manage the team, it is now left for to make his best choice. Madrid as a team are doing well with Ancelotti and may not be needing another coach at least for now.

Talking about Liverpool, owing to the very fact that jurden klopp has ended his coaching duties at Liverpool, they need an outstanding coach who would pick up from klopp stopped, Guardiola could be a good replacement but the issue he here is whether pep will accept going to his rivalry club.
Not so many clubs would able to meet up with the demands he mind come with thereby reducing the number of clubs he might possibly sign with.
