Laudrup secured the Welsh club's first major trophy in their 100-year history by winning the Capital One Cup on Sunday.
The Dane, who is said to be courted by some of European football's top clubs,
is set for talks with Swans chairman Huw Jenkins on extending his current deal, which ends at the end of next season.
De Guzman, however, is confident the Swans can continue their meteoric rise even if Laudrup moves on.
"Everyone wants to get to the top and get the best out of their career and if it happens to him I will wish him the best, although it would be sad," the Dutchman told Sky Sports. "But there are other coaches out there capable of filling his shoes.
"Last season everyone was so happy when Brendan Rodgers was here, and there was a lot of sadness when he left.
"People were questioning if Michael Laudrup could do the job but just look at how well he has done, and if he gets the opportunity to take his theories elsewhere I would wish him the best.
"Sometimes that happens in football and we know a lot of coaches have respect for the way Swansea play good football."
De Guzman has rediscovered his best form since joining the Swans on loan from Villareal. The 25-year-old has since admitted he would welcome a permanent deal at the Liberty Stadium.
"It was a no-brainer coming here. Everyone knows I am happy here, we have not talked about it but if it comes to talks my ears are open, my first choice would be to stay." he said.
