YAYA ‘WANTS PEACE’ WITH CITY AND PEP
Manchester City legend Yaya Toure has revealed he is trying to repair his relationship with old boss Pep Guardiola.
The midfielder’s exit at the Etihad in 2018 was tarnished with comments accusing Guardiola of having a problem with African players in an explosive interview with France Football.
Toure, 37, is regarded as one of the club’s greatest ever players, having won three Prem titles, the FA Cup and two League Cups in his eight years.
But now he reveals he doesn’t feel welcome back at the club with Guardiola or owner Khaldoon Al Mubarak not replying to his letters of apology.
Reported by the Daily Mail, Toure said: “That interview was my big, huge mistake. This one was wrong. I want to apologise for what happened, I want to apologise for doing something wrong.
“We decided we would try to communicate with some important people at the club to apologise and say I’ve been indecent to the club.
“Since then, it has been a very, very long while waiting for an answer, but we don’t get it. And, of course, if he feels like that, I cannot do anything.
“I want peace. We don’t want this (acrimony) all the time. For the love of the fans, for the love of the club, sometimes things have to be settled the right way.”
