This comes after Guardiola revealed that Toure will be frozen out of the squad unless the agent apologizes for accusing the club of “humiliating” Toure.

Guardiola has however offered a way back for the Ivory Coast midfielder, insisting that his agent apologises for statements he has made against him and the club.
Guardiola’s move has attracted criticism from Seluk who said the former Barcelona manager should apologise to his client if City does not win the Champions League this season.
‘The team he took at Barca had been built by Frank Rijkard and then he was lucky to have Lionel Messi, ‘ Seluk told the Daily Mirror. “Of course, Manchester City can buy whatever they want, they have a lot of money”.
“I can not imagine in my period when I was a football player, my manager going to the media and speaking against Johan Cruyff, about this and about that”. Pellegrini signed a new contract past year and then he gets pushed out for Guardiola to come in.
However, given City’s impressive start to the season, fans and pundits alike have made Guardiola’s men the firm favourites to win the Premier League title.
“But I know what is going on here”.
What you wondered, as Seluk sought out the cameras to vent his spleen this week, was whether Toure just might finally have it within him to call out this individual as the malevolent individual he is; to apologise and to say: “‘He doesn’t speak for me”.
Dimitri Seluk has a long history of the war of words with Manchester City.
“The truth is that Guardiola protects the players who have agents he is friends with. But the reality is that Guardiola protects the players of the agents he gets along with”, he said. I live in Europe so I can say whatever I like and Guardiola can’t stop me. I can not imagine in my period when I was a football player, my manager going to the media and speaking against Johan Cruyff, about this and about that.
“Maybe it’s a new era now, the new period changing, but I’m an old guy”.
“They wanted to force Yaya to go to a small club who wouldn’t be challenging them or even China”.

Despite BBC reporting interest from Inter Milan in the summer amidst the arrival of Guardiola at Eastlands, Toure stayed put with Seluk declaring that Toure would see out the remaining year of his contract.
