Toure set to leave Man City

LONDON. – Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure is “90 percent certain” to leave the English Premier League soccer club at the end of this season, his agent Dimitri Seluk said yesterday.Seluk told Sky Sports News that Ivorian Toure, who joined City in 2010 as part of owner Sheikh Mansour’s vast outlay on world-class players, is attracting serious interest from three clubs.

The 31-year-old Toure, a dominant force in City’s two Premier League title-winning sides in 2012 and 2014, has not made the same impact the club have come to expect from the powerhouse midfielder this season.

Last month Seluk branded boss Manuel Pellegrini a “weak manager” after a poor run of form dropped City out of the running for the Premier League title and ensured they will end the current campaign without a piece of silverware. Toure caused controversy last May after he claimed he was shown disrespect by City after they failed to wish him a happy 31st birthday and present him with a cake.

Seluk, who has represented Touré throughout his career, has confirmed there are three clubs chasing the Ivory Coast international, but he will not decide where his future lies until the end of the season.

Reports suggest Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are two clubs keen on the 31-year-old, who has struggled to capture his best form as City conceded the title to Chelsea this season. – Reuters.
