The Caribbean is well-known for its powdery white sand beaches and calm, turquoise waters. Nonetheless, it would appear that Pep Guardiola was unaware of the situation.

The manager of Manchester City was enjoying a well-deserved vacation in Barbados after leading the club to its fourth Premier League title in the last five seasons when he was startled by the sound of the waves ʙʀᴇᴀᴋɪɴɢ on the shore.

Guardiola made a hasty escape back to shore, but he isn’t put off for too long as he enjoys all of the sunshine and sea wind that is currently available with his wife, Cristina Serra.

The City boss must be feeling pretty content right now, both on holiday on the paradise island and with matters back at the Etihad.

He addressed the ʀᴜᴍᴏᴜʀs regarding his future at City back in April, signing a new deal that will keep him in Manchester until 2025.

Guardiola then secured the title and, perhaps most significantly for the peace of mind that allows him to swim and frolic carefree in the Caribbean, he nailed down his number one transfer target, Erling Haaland, at the very start of the summer window.

But, it appears that the City Manager is unable to entirely disengage, as he is frequently observed immersed on his phone.

But, it appears that despite all the luxuries that Barbados has to offer, Guardiola may still be keeping track of what’s going on in European football, since the City manager was photographed at the island intently focusing on his phone.

Considering everything that is known about how meticulous Guardiola is, it is highly likely that he is checking on the transfer situation regarding two of his senior players, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling. Perhaps he is just looking through the selfies from the day, but given everything that is known about how meticulous Guardiola is, it is highly likely that he is just looking through the selfies from the day.

While Chelsea are interested in bringing Sterling to west London, Arsenal are making significant efforts to sign Jesus. Tottenham, on the other hand, have abandoned their pursuit of the Brazilian player.

Guardiola is currently considering signing goalkeeper Stefan Ortega to replace Zack Steffen as City continue to be quietly active in the summer season.

It’s also possible that Guardiola is monitoring the progress that his neighbors, Manchester United, are making under their new manager, Erik ten Hag, when it comes to revamping their team’s roster. On this matter, the leader of the City can continue to enjoy himself on the beach for the time being.

Given the turmoil on the other side of Manchester, Guardiola can likely truly relax on holiday.
