You must had read/heard about the squabble between Pep Guardiola and Yaya Toure and then his agent, Dimitri Seluk’s personal vendetta against the coach. (Read it here, here and here ) Here’s an update on the situation.

Recall Guardiola mentioned that the only condition for accepting the player into the team is if his agent tenders an apology for his foul-mouthed rants against him.

Yaya Toure's agent fires back at Guardiola

Yaya Toure’s agent Dimitri Seluk has issued a response to Pep Guardiola’s
apology demands. Angered by Dimitri’s comments about him, the Spaniard today issued
an ultimatum to the midfielder saying until his agent apologizes to the club, his teammates and the trainer,Yaya is out from the team”. Well, Yaya’s agent has fired back, stating conditions for tendering his
apology.
“What do I need to apologise for? Guardiola wins a
few games and he thinks he is king. I live in Europe so I can say whatever I
like and Guardiola can’t stop me.
“Okay, I will apologise to Guardiola if he will
apologise to Pellegrini for what he did to him. If you are a gentleman, this
just does not happen.
“Pellegrini signed a new contract last year and
then he gets pushed out for Guardiola to come in. Pellegrini was a gentleman.
“Guardiola also needs to apologise to Joe Hart. It
is not normal and it is not right to come to England and to get rid of the few
English players. When you come to a country you must respect the country and
respect its people.”

He continued, “When Yaya went to Man City, they could only
dream about the Champions League. The biggest stars in Europe did not want to
come to City, but Yaya came. They weren’t a big club. After he arrives they
started winning; two league titles, cups and now the semis of the Champions
League. I want Man City to win everything; to win all their games because it
means more trophies for Yaya. City have great players, but Guardiola wants new
future for Yaya, for Hart…and they won’t be the last. I respect managers like
Claudio Ranieri who achieve without spending so much money on players.”

Toure won't play until he apologises – Guardiola

The recent nasty
comments Yaya Toure’s agent, Dimitri Seluk made about the club’s manager, Pep
Guardiola definitely didn’t go unnoticed by the latter. A week ago, Seluk accused the ex-Barcelona coach pf humiliating his client (during
their spells at Barcelona) adding that he hopes the Ivorian gets a chance to prove himself at the English club. The 33 year-old who just retired from international duty has made one appearance for City this season and was dropped from Champions League squad, sparking .

If
(Guardiola) wins the Champions League for City this season then I will
travel to England and I will say on television that Pep Guardiola is the best
manager in the world. But if City
don’t win the Champions League then I hope that Pep has got the balls to say
that he was wrong to humiliate a great player like Yaya.Yaya is a
professional and so he will do everything he is asked to do.What I can
tell you is that Yaya will spend the season at City. He will not be leaving in
January. He hopes that he will get the chance to prove himself.  

 In Man City’s press
conference today, the Spaniard Pep made it clear that Yaya Touré will not play
again for City until the club receives an apology from the agent. 

‘It was so difficult for me to leave
him out of the Champions League, so difficult. I know him and I know he’s a
good guy.‘The day after his manager spoke and
in that moment Yaya is out. Except Mr Dimitri Seluk comes back in the press
conference or to his friends in the media – because he hasn’t the courage to
call me, he goes to the media – and apologise to Manchester City first of all,
then his team-mates, and afterwards the trainer. ‘When that happens Yaya will be part
of the group and he will have the chance to play. I cannot accept as a coach
every agent (who) when his player doesn’t play he goes to the media and speaks.
I know how much Dimitri Seluk loves Yaya Toure. If he loves him, show me by
apologising to Manchester City for what he did in the papers. 

‘I cannot imagine in my day when a
player’s agent would go to the media and speak against Johan Cruyff. Maybe
it’s the new era but I’m old generation, and an old generation agent has to
make his players his job and the coach his job.‘Today agents believe they are more
than they are. If you have a problem, we can talk. Until he speaks, Yaya isn’t
going to play.’

 The former
Bayern boss affirmed.
