Malaga will not comment on manager Manuel Pellegrini's future until their season ends on 1 June, after reports that he can leave the Spanish club at the end of the campaign.
.
The 59-year-old is a frontrunner to replace Roberto Mancini as Manchester City boss after his sacking on Monday.
.
The Chilean has said no deal had been agreed with Manchester City.
.
"The club will not say anything now. We are still playing our league," said a Malaga spokesperson.
.
Malaga newspaper Malagaohoy has reported that Pellegrini will leave the club this summer to sign a two-year deal with City.
.
Who is Manuel Pellegrini?

Retired in 1986 and took his first managerial role the following year at Palestino
Has taken charge of 10 teams in total including
Villarreal (2004-09), Real Madrid (2009-10) and currently Malaga

.
"There remains some fixtures to qualify for the Europa League, so in this moment, officially, we are not saying anything," said a spokesperson from Malaga's communication department.
.
"The club has not communicated anything about this. I am not saying [the Malagahoy article] is true or false, I am just saying that the club officially has not said anything.
.
"I think that other clubs, Manchester City or whatever other club, have finished their season but Malaga has not finished their season.
.
"Out of respect for the fact that we are still playing to finish the league in a position to play in the Europa League, we will not make a communication that the manager will leave or another will join, until we finish.
.
"Probably once we qualify for Europa, there may be a communication and we will say more on this subject."

Pellegrini, who has previously had spells in charge of Real Madrid and Villarreal, took charge of Malaga in November 2010.
He would just have to quit Malaga at the end of it all. Manchester City is a better platform to show the world how good he is.
