Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was "not close at all" to leaving the Premier League club, says BBC Radio 5 Live's Guillem Balague.
They have won six major honours since the ex-Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach, 49, took charge in 2016.
"There were offers from Juventus, Paris St-Germain and others, but he's happy," said Spanish football writer Balague.
"He's enjoying himself, he's surrounded by people he trusts, he controls the sporting decisions and is happy that nothing that happens in the changing room comes out, which used to happen at Bayern and Barcelona."
After surrendering the league title to Liverpool last season and failing to reach the Champions League semi-finals for a fourth straight year, Guardiola entered the final year of his contract with City.
