Midfield maestro Iniesta, 32, is hoping for talks with the club over his extended future within the next few weeks.
He knows Guardiola would happily take him to The Etihad, but he said:
"I think Guardiola already knows what I think and what I want; my wish is to finish my career in Barcelona.
"I would pick up the phone because he was my coach and is my friend, I learnt a lot under Pep but now Luis Enrique is the best manager for me because he is our coach."
It remains to be seen if the Spanish champions want him to stay beyond the age of 34.
