adminHowever, Seluk says that things have not gone according to plan and he does not feel that Toure will stay.
“If he signs a contract in the next three or four days, OK. If not, we will not wait any longer and will start negotiations with different clubs,” Seluk is quoted by The Sun.
“Today is Tuesday, so it means by Saturday. We will say ‘Thank you. OK, Yaya will leave in May.’
“I do not feel he will stay at City. This is not about money. He wants to leave because of many reasons. He does not feel the respect of the staff
“He is one of the best players at Manchester City but does not feel the respect of the staff. Only Roberto Mancini respects Yaya.”
“It’s a pity City pay big money, but do not understand that human relations mean more than anything. Yaya feels the club do not want him.
“Yaya is extremely well paid at City and is the first to recognise that. But he is the No. 1 in the world in his position and can get the same money elsewhere.
“He has been ready to sign for six months on the same money.
“He is the best box-to-box midfielder in the world. He can also play centre half, even play centre forward.
“We want to leave the club, because if they really wanted to do good by Yaya they’d have completed the contract a few months ago.”
Toure, who is currently on international duty, is believed to be City’s highest earner already – but it is now claimed that if the new deal is not thrashed out, he will consider buying himself out of the remainder of his deal, which in theory he can do under Article 17 of Fifa’s transfer regulations.
“It’s all strange. It’s not normal to have negotiations for six months about a contract,” Seluk continued.
“They have been talking about small details all this time.”
Seluk believes that City’s owner Sheikh Mansour may need to intervene.
“Maybe if the owner speaks to Yaya, maybe he doesn’t know the details,” he said. – Sky Sports.
