They hang in Diaz but we will not stop him if he wants to leave

Josep Guardiola, the English Premier League coach, spoke Friday of Ibrahim Diaz, who wants to leave the club.

Guardiola stressed that his team had done everything in their power to retain Moroccan striker Ibrahim Diaz, stressing that he would not cling to him if he wanted to leave.

The 19-year-old, whose contract with the Premiership champion expires next summer, is unhappy with his lack of opportunities to play in the first team.

According to reports in the press, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid wanted their services with the guarantee of playing more in the team. Diaz will have the opportunity to start formal negotiations with the clubs wishing to benefit from its services from the beginning of January (with the start of the transfer period for the winter) and to give its initial agreement to defend one of them as early as next season.

"My advice, if he does not want to stay, is to leave." Before arriving at the club, it was the case of Ser (Sancho) and Phil (Fuden). He told reporters: "We want to extend his contract and we will do everything for it, but it depends on him, He has to decide and there is nothing."

Sancho is a member of the Manchester City Academy who has chosen to leave the team and defend the colors of Borussia Dortmund, where he has brilliantly played this season, which led him to defend the colors of England, where he played 3 games with his coach Gareth Southgate.

For his part, Fuden suffered the same disappointments as Diaz and Sancho in the Guardiola booking center, though Manchester City hopes to convince him to sign a long-term contract.

"They can not say that we have not done everything to interest them, him and his family – as a human being, as a person, as a football player," Guardiola said. .

"We can not do more than we did with Ibrahim, for example, or with others, they come to the club like young children, but the market is the market," he said. . "Manchester City is on tour in England looking for players who defend the colors of other clubs and want to stay.

"In Barcelona, ​​there were a lot of players, for example Cesc Fabregas, who wanted to go to Arsenal," he said. "All we can do is talk to families and find out what they want to do with these young people, tell them the truth and the difficulties they encounter at certain times."
