Yaya Toure Unsettled At Barcelona, But Will Not Join Manchester City - Agent
Yaya will not be joining Kolo at Eastlands, but he may very well be on the move in January. His agent has indicated a lack of game time at Camp Nou is frustrating the Ivorian...
The Ivory Coast star was linked with the Eastlands outfit after his brother, Kolo, stated that he would like to play alongside his sibling, but Dimitri Seluk has ruled that out.
According to the agent, Toure is dismayed at Barcelona and could well consider forcing his way out of the European champions.
"If Barca do not want Yaya then I can name eight other clubs, some of the biggest in the world, who are interested in signing him," the representative told radio station RAC-1.
"One thing I can say, though, is that if he does leave Barca, he will not go to Manchester City because he will sign for a bigger club."
After seeing his client start only four matches this season, Toure's agent expressed his dismay at having penned a new deal at Camp Nou in the summer.
"We understand that in any big team there will be rotation, but why is it always the same player that is rotated?" he questioned.
"How come [Seydou] Keita has played ten games and Yaya four?
"A few months ago we renewed the contract with Barcelona, despite having offers from some very big clubs.
"My question now is why did Barca want to renew Yaya's deal? To have him on the bench? I do not understand.
"We respect the decisions made by the coach and will not say anything against what he decides."
