Since the 115 charges landed at Man City, there have been no clauses inserted into new signings’ contracts related to, for example, any potential relegation as a result of their punishment. In most cases, the charges are not even brought up during talks.
Sources who know Pep Guardiola believe if Man City were found guilty and severely punished via the 115 charges, it would make it more likely he would sign a new contract; partly out of defiance and not leaving a club he has come to love in a difficult spot.

Ruben Amorim: "Hugo Viana wants to win more than everyone at Man City.”
On a move to Man City together with Hugo Viana: “They are different paths. We just have a professional relationship, which will not last forever.”
“[Hugo] Viana, during the game against Man City in the UCL, won't be available to enter the [Sporting] dressing room. I'm going to leave him out, to avoid conflicts. Otherwise, everything will stay the same until the end of the season.”
