But the Manchester Evening News claims City are keen to return to the USA in 2020.
Guardiola has not ruled out a return to the Far East but hinted it will not be next year.
He said: "For us it's a new experience every season, it will help on the pitch and we did it last season.
"And off the pitch we are showing what an amazing club we are and how we are trying to be better every season.
"Sooner or later we'll come back – sure."
