Manchester City’s Yaya Toure ‘open to offers’ over summer move

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure is open to leaving the club at the end of the season, according to his agent Dimitri Seluk.

The Ivory Coast international’s contract at the Etihad Stadium expires next summer and Toure has previously expressed a desire to remain until then. However, with reports this week linking the 32-year-old with a move to Chinese side Shanghai SIPG, Seluk has admitted he could be tempted to leave the Premier League.

''He will not move in January,” Seluk told SportItalia. “However, in the summer things can change. We are ready to listen to any offers that are on the table.”

Meanwhile, Toure’s City and Ivory Coast team-mate Wilfried Bony has denied rumours he wants to leave the club. Bony has been linked with a return to his former club Swansea after he questioned Manuel Pellegrini’s decision not to start him against Arsenal in December.

''I’m happy at the club, all this speculation is not true,” he told BBC World Football.

''I have a contract so I’m happy and I think I’m at one of the top clubs in the United Kingdom.

''I have no regrets about joining Man City. We play in the Champions League and we’re one of the top clubs in the world. I’m happy here and I can just say I’m blessed.”
