The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder is out of contract in the summer and is understood to be considering his future.
Barcelona appeared to be leading the race to sign the 32-year-old on a free transfer, but Arsenal are now considering a move for the serial Premier League winner.
City have not yet given up hope of their inspirational skipper renewing his commitment to the club, but he is reportedly holding out on the offer of a three-year contract.
Asked ahead of tomorrow night’s game against Brighton if he had an update on Gundogan’s situation, Guardiola said: ‘I cannot tell you anything because I don’t know anything, I’m sorry!’
Guardiola, meanwhile, expects an inevitable drop off in intensity from his players now the Premier League has been retained but warned them that major challenges still lie in wait.
A fifth title in six years was attained following Arsenal’s defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, which essentially gave City three ‘free’ games until the end of the domestic campaign.
They have already dispensed with Chelsea and Brighton follow on Wednesday before Brentford on the final day, but the bigger picture is the FA Cup final against Manchester United and the Champions League final against Inter Milan.
“They have the party after the (Chelsea) game. I don’t know how they feel,” said Guardiola. They have to be ready to run a lot. The best way to prepare for the final is be ready. The players set the standards, they have to maintain it.
‘It’s normal the energy would drop. Arsenal play for just the Premier League, we have FA Cup, Champions League, the energy we spend is massive.
‘It’s normal you drop, you have to avoid it or don’t drop much otherwise the two teams (Brighton and Brentford) can hurt us.
‘Play our game, adapt the way we play, arrive to United and Inter in the best condition possible.”
