He has a contract until 2025 which he intends to honour, but the 53-year-old suggested he might not sign another new deal.
"The reality is I am closer to leaving than staying," Guardiola said.
"We have talked with the club and my feeling is that I want to stay now. I will stay next season and during the season we will talk. But after eight or nine years, we will see."
Mikel Arteta's team has finished second in the past two campaigns after amassing 89 points this term. Guardiola said he's "got the message."
"Before, it was Liverpool to push our limits, and now it was Arsenal," Guardiola said.
"I want to congratulate them from the depths of my heart, for Mikel, his staff and players. They have had an incredible season. I feel it and they push us to our best like before. We got the message from Mikel and his players. We have to make the right decisions in the next years because they are here to stay. "
