Pep Guardiola will apparently make a decision on his Barcelona future on Friday ahead of their trip to Rayo Vallecano at the weekend.
The Spaniard is rumoured to be considering walking away from the club at the end of the season rather than extend his contract at the Nou Camp.
Guardiola has managed the Catalan outfit on a year-by-year basis since taking over from Frank Rijkaard in 2008.
Despite his great success, which includes two Champions League titles and three consecutive La Liga championships, Guardiola has been coy over whether he'll put pen to paper on a new deal.
The 41-year-old has been linked with the vacancy at Barca's Champions League conquerors Chelsea, but it is thought that he would take a break from the game if he were to leave Barcelona in the summer.
