Agent: 'Yaya Toure could leave Manchester City'

The agent of Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has claimed that his client is ready to depart the Premier League champions.

Toure, 29, has played a key role in the club's success this season, but his agent, Dimitri Seluk, has insisted that the Ivorian needs "new motivations".

"He has done all he can do at City and he needs new motivations. Toure could sign for many big clubs like Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Also, we would like to see Barca join the race," he told The Sun.

"I have not spoken to Barca but they know the situation. I do not know if Madrid are interested but Jose Mourinho has liked him since he was at Chelsea."

Toure has three years remaining on his current contract.
