Manchester City are prepared to send Taylor Harwood-Bellis away on-loan this month.

City manager Pep Guardiola will consider the right loan offer for Harwood-Bellis this month but will not be letting Eric Garcia leave the club.

"Eric Garcia is not going to move, it's impossible," he said. "We didn't speak about Harwood-Bellis but I think he is going to stay until the end of the season because maybe we need him for the second team. I don't know if he has offers - if there is an offer from a Premier League team maybe we would consider that for his development as a player but I don't have information about that.

"The best moves for the big players in the second team is going to as high a team as possible, so the Premier League is better than the Championship, for instance. The physicality is normal in these competitions, playing against guys who are 26 or 27 are physically stronger because ours are still kids. That is normal.

"The problem with the second team is the competitions they play for itself. It is not consistent to their development. It could be better but it is what it is. Each player has a different perspective and approach."
