Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said his club tried "everything" to keep Brahim Diaz before the player decided to move to Real Madrid.
The Sky Blues coach explained he has no intention of retaining talent if individuals have a desire to leave the Premier League champions.
Diaz signed for Los Blancos on Sunday after a lack of first-team opportunities under Guardiola.
According to Joe Shread of Sky Sports, Guardiola wished his young compatriot the best but was stern in his appraisal.
Guardiola said:
"Like I said many times, I don't want people that don't want to stay here.
