Toure’s former agent denies receiving secret payments from Manchester City

On Monday, The Premier League charged Manchester City with 101 breaches of competition rules and one of the alleged breaches is understood to be an allegation involving former City midfielder Yaya Toure and his agent, Dimitri Seluk.

Toure was an influential figure at Man City during his time at the club which ran from  2010-2018. He won three league titles, the FA Cup and two League Cups.

Seluk, who no longer works for Toure, an academy coach at Tottenham, was asked by The Guardian whether City had made him any secret payments when he represented the player at the club.

“No, everything was transparent, there was nothing on the back side [secret],” Seluk said. 

“I am interested to see what happens as this was a surprise. Yaya, of course, paid everything – tax and everything. It was all transparent.”

Seluk would be happy to speak to the independent commission if contacted. “Of course,” he said. “I would tell them the same.”

Man City have denied any wrongdoing and said they welcomed “the review of this matter by an independent commission.

Yaya Toure is yet to comment on the allegations at this point.
