It's all a little far-fetched, don't you think?
More likely if City knows they are saying, "lol, you signed a PRE-contract? Yeah, that isn't legally binding on us at all." It would be much easier for them to keep Pep and not do all this secretive and time-consuming looking behind the scenes stuff to help him leave.
If Pep insists on walking out on City and rescinding on his agreement, more likely is City will put him on gardening leave, and ensure that he doesn't sign for any other club whilst the term of his City contract is still in effect unless they get considerable and huge compensation. And they almost certainly wouldn't be at all bothered about secrecy when looking for a replacement coach, it would be in their interests to make that search public.
I'm confused as to why City would be inclined to bend over backwards to accommodate both Pep and Juventus here? Just what is in it for them?
