, 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,” he said. “I am interested to see what happens as this was a surprise. Yaya 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.” City have denied any wrongdoing and said they welcomed “the review of this matter by an independent commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position”.
