Yaya Toure’s agent finally agrees to tender apology to Guardiola

– Yaya Toure has told his agent, Dimitri Seluk, to apologize to Pep Guardiola – Seluk had tacitly slammed Guardiola in the summer over his player’s exemption in City’s 21-man squad for UCL – The Barcelona-based agent agrees to apologize to Guardiola and vows not to insult the Man City again Yaya Toure has told his agent, Dimitri Seluk, to apologize to Pep Guardiola over his provocative comments against the Manchester City manager, Daily mail reports. And according to Seluk, the plan to forge a “new relationship” with Guardiola is in the pipeline.

Seluk believes an apology to Guardiola will bring an end to Toure’s exile from the City roster. He said: “I have spoken to Yaya in the last few days and he has asked me to make the peace with Pep. “I agreed with him that I had to do what I could to make the situation better, because Yaya and Manchester City have been caught in the crossfire. I am genuine in what I say.” Seluk said he had come under pressure from fans and teammates over his criticism of Toure’s Champions League omission and Guardiola’s ultimatum that the player would not return until an apology was made. He said: “Some City fans have contacted Yaya to say that a way forward must be found. And some of Yaya’s teammates at City have also contacted me to say the same thing. “I am not an unreasonable man. I don’t think that Pep will ever love me, but the most important thing is that we try to forgive what has happened in the past and develop a new relationship. “This is a genuine gesture. I hope Pep accepts that my hope is that we can start with a clean page.” Seluk swore off commenting on the manager’s actions. “Of course, I hope Pep takes the decision to bring Yaya back into his squad, but even if he doesn’t, I can assure him that I am not going to speak about him any more in the media.” Toure has not played for City since the Champions League qualifiers in August. Recall that Guardiola had demanded an apology from Seluk, following his provoking comments made against the manager in the summer. Seluk tacitly slammed Guardiola in the summer over his player’s exemption in City’s 21-man squad for the Champions League.
