No problem.
A lot can happen from now till 2016, when his Bayern contract runs out, but I'd be surprised if it's renewed, and if he does become a free agent, only very few clubs could realistically afford him.
Of the potential English clubs:
Van Gaal has started poorly at Man U but most people see the problem there is with the team left behind by Fergie rather than with Van Gaal himself, although pressure is increasing on him to improve things. He'll get another season at least but after that (when Pep could become available) who knows.
Chelsea are on a high with Mourinho right now but he has a habit of being at clubs for only a few seasons at a time and we know Abramovich desperately wants Pep. The bigger question there is if Pep wants to work for Abramovich.
Pellegrini seems safe at Man City but there's always a sense that they could improve. They'd take Pep but I'm not sure how interested he'd be in going there. They're a rich club but they haven't really established an identity yet.
