The midfielder has been told that he will not play unless the City boss gets an apology for Seluk’s criticism of his decision to omit the player from the club’s Champions League squad.
Toure, who has retired from worldwide football, has made only one appearance under Guardiola this season – the Champions League playoff second leg against Steaua Bucharest – and has not featured in the matchday squad for the seven other fixtures. “I know him, he is a good guy”, Guardiola was quoted as saying by the Independent on Tuesday.
“I know what’s going to happen to me, to our club, my players, the team when we don’t win”. I accept if Mr Dimitri Seluk came in a press conference or (spoke to) his friends in the media – because he has not the courage to call me – and apologised to Manchester City, his team-mates and the trainer, when that happens Yaya will be part of the group and he will have the same chance to play all the games. After he arrives they started winning; two league titles, cups and now the semis of the Champions League.
“Writing this note was probably “the most hard match of my life”, he said, adding that the decision was not to do with his age, intensity of training or number of games.Football is everything to me.
“Yaya na ogbonge player wey don make history with Manchester City”.
Several of the reports claimed that Pep was accompanied by his brother, football agent Pere, who represents several young players already at City.
Indeed, the Guardian is reporting today that City have given the green light for the veteran midfielder to leave the club in January for any club, including their Premier League rivals.
“Guardiola wins a few games and think he is king”, Seluk told Sky. But Guardiola has excluded Toure from his side and found there is no detrimental effect.
Toure said the decision to retire, I feel bad. Hart is England’s goalkeeper; Yaya has won the African Footballer of the Year four times.

Guardiola is famous for demanding a lot from his players, so the Catalan will be glad to hear his new recruit does not mind doing the hard yards, and he can also rely on another important figure in Jesus’ life to come down hard on him if he is not working for the team. Na only players wey go dey fear am he like. The previous year he complained there were not enough shirts with Toure’s name on them for sale in the club shop.
