However, the Gunners won the race for Rice's signature despite City bidding £90 million for the player's services.
“Sometimes here we have many players we wanted and they didn’t decide to join us,” said Guardiola, as per the Mirror.
"He's not the first one who we wanted who didn't join us. We have a long list.
“Basically, they don't want to come or the price or whatever, so it could not happen. He made his decision, a good one, and good luck. All the teams in the Premier League would have signed Declan Rice.
“He's an international captain for the national team of England and a young player playing a lot of games regularly. That's why Arsenal pushed the way they pushed.”
