Manchester City will hold contract talks with manager Pep Guardiola in the summer as they aim to build a dynasty to rival that of Manchester United.
United won eight of the first 11 Premier Leagues titles under former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, and City would like to replicate that dominance.
They beat Tottenham 4-1 on Saturday to extend their record winning run in the Premier League to 16 games and are 11 points clear of United at the top.
Guardiola’s contract expires in 2019.
Guardiola, who previously coached Barcelona and Bayern Munich, became City manager in the summer of 2016.
In his debut season, the team finished third in the Premier League, were knocked out of the FA Cup in the semi-finals and exited both the Champions League and EFL Cup at the last-16 stage.
Chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak described the season as “disappointing”, but the club believe the 46-year-old is now reaping the benefit of that campaign.
As well as topping the Premier League, his team visit Leicester in the EFL Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday, and face Swiss side FC Basel in the last 16 of the Champions League in February.
