Europe's elite clubs including Chelsea were put on red alert last night after an advisor of Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure claimed the Ivorian was ready to seek a new challenge.
Don't Miss


Toure's future at the Premier League club has been in doubt since he revealed last week that he wished to return to Barcelona and finish his career there after playing at Camp Nou between 2007 and 2010.

City coach Roberto Mancini has since disputed the notion that the midfielder's has grown unhappy at the club, but the 29-year-old is allegedly looking to move on.

"He has done all he could do at City and he needs new motivations," Dimitri Seluk told Ona FM. "Toure would like a new challenge.

"He would not cost much. He has two years on his contract and in one year he could leave under the Webster ruling."
DEJA VU?
11/8 Manchester City are 11/8 with William Hill to win the Premier League title in 2013.


Seluk then guaranteed that no talks have taken place with Barca, but admitted he would like to take his client back to Camp Nou.

"Toure could sign for many big clubs, like Chelsea and Bayern [Munich]," he added. "Moreover, we would like to see Barca join the race.

"I have not spoken with [soon-to-be Barca coach] Tito Vilanova or [president] Sandro Rosell, but they know the situation and if they are interested in the player there will be no problem to sit down and talk."

The agent also seemingly opened the door for a move to Real Madrid, stating that coach Jose Mourinho is a big fan of his client.

"I do not know if Madrid are interested in Toure, but I know that Mourinho has liked him a lot since he was at Chelsea," Seluk noted.

"He also wanted him when he joined Inter, but Toure was at Barca."

Bye.

So his agent has basically said he could go to Bayern or Real or Barca although none of them have expressed an interest or spoken to him. He also expressed deep love for Barca last week, so Madrid would be a strange move.

As for leaving cheap, he mentions the ruling that lets him buy himself out of his contract in 12 months. If the reported wages are true, that's £11m in a years time, so let's say £22m now, or roughly what we paid for him. Hardly cheap.

As for achieved all he can, he's won a cup and one league. Nothing in Europe and not defended anything.

So sounds like bollox to me. However, if that is Toure's desire, then go find someone with the cash and close the door on the way out.

Loosely translated to "Can I have a payrise please?"

If the reports are true he's the highest paid playerin the Premiership. How much more money can he want?!

This guy makes Kia look restrained and professional.

To the tune of Delilah everybody...

Erm Goal.com

Sounds like an agent flying a kite to see what the market's like.

I think we'll have to get used to this sort of stuff.

Crock of shit I think.

Yaya going nowhere. Loved, respected and well paid.

Webster ruling doesn't apply. Agent knows shitall.

Yaya was interviewed just two days ago talking about the upcoming challenge to build on the success at City.

This thread might aswell be deleted. No truth whatsoever. BOLLOX.

He loves it. Kolo though.

That was everywhere mate. We hammered that in the pub we were in. One of the best nights ever. Totally mint song.

Cannot be dealing with this story though. Will assume it is therefore bollox.
