Yaya Toure threatens to quit Manchester City by this weekend
Wednesday, March 20, 2013Omoba
Yaya Toure’s agent,
Dmitri Seluk, has said that his client will leave Manchester City, if he is not
offered a new contract by the end of the week.
The Ivorian midfield
powerhouse, has been negotiating with the club for the past six months and now
wants the issue resolved during the international break.
“If he signs a
contract in the next three or four days, okay. If not, we will not wait any
longer and will start negotiations with different clubs,” Seluk told The Sun.
“Today is Tuesday, so
it means by Saturday. We will say ‘Thank you. Okay, 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 is one of the best players at Manchester City but does not feel the
respect of the staff. Only Roberto Mancini respects Yaya.”
Toure is City’s best
paid player at about £220,000 a week, but his agent brushed aside insinuations
that the former Barcelona man is looking for a pay rise, but for “small
details” in his contract to be ironed out.
“It’s all strange.
It’s not normal to have negotiations for six months about a contract. They have
been talking about small details all this time,” Seluk added.
“Maybe if the owner
speaks to Yaya, maybe he doesn’t know the details.”
