Report: Kolo Toure Wants To Leave Manchester City
Manchester City's decision to sack Mark Hughes from his position as manager yesterday seems to have had consequences in the Eastlands dressing room.
Defender Kolo Toure is very unhappy about the situation and wants to leave the club, according to The Daily Mirror.
The player's agent has reportedly been touting Toure to Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, though it is not known what the reaction from the La Liga clubs has been.
The 28-year-old joined City from Arsenal in the summer for £12m and was made captain by Hughes.
New Citizens gaffer Roberto Mancini is unlikely to allow Toure to leave though, with City's defensive resources stretched by injuries to Joleon Lescott and Wayne Bridge.
