Speculation is mounting over the
future of Manchester City's
midfield linchpin Yaya Toure, after
his representatives have reportedly
said that the Ivorian has done all he
can at City and is looking for a new
challenge.
Dimitri Seluk, Toure's main
representative went on Spanish radio
to say his client could be leaving in the
summer, days after City had just
clinched the Premier League title.
"Toure has done all he can do at City
and needs new motivations. He would
like a new challenge. He would not
cost much.
“He could sign for many big clubs, like
Chelsea or Bayern Munich. We would
like to see Barcelona join the race.”
The former Barcelona players current
contract runs until 2015 and many
think this may just be a ploy to push
the City hierarchy into offering Toure
an improved contract, despite the fact
he is already one of the Premier
Leagues top earners on a reported
basic salary of ₤150,000 a week rising
to ₤220,000 with bonuses.
Goal.com have reortedly been told by
sources that the City chiefs will not be
rushed into giving Toure an extension
to his current deal, seeing that he will
be 32 in 2015 when his contract is due
to expire.
