“Looks like, if not already, done” Guardiola told reporters through video conference as per Daily Mail. “There are still some little issues. Wish him all the best on his new chapter.
“He will have another chapter at a fantastic club in Bayern Munich. He wanted to leave. Everyone has their own life and he decided to move on.
“I would have loved for him to stay but he believed he would be better and happier there,” he added.
