For Manchester City fans Yaya Toure must be the most frustrating player on the planet. Brilliant when he wants to be but the problem is he doesn't seem to want to be all too often. It looks like the Ivorian is off in the summer.
To be completely honest the moment Pep Guardiola announced he'd be leaving Germany for the Premier League at the end of the season the twisted love affair between City and Toure looked certain to end.
Toure was sold to the Etihad club by Guardiola from Barcelona and it's all too likely that the legendary manager would want to sell the former Monaco midfielder again this summer when he arrives in Manchester.

After recently kicking up a fuss about his client getting a new contract by Easter or Toure would be off, agent Dimitri Seluk has now confirmed his client will be leaving in the summer saying: "From this moment we start to discuss with different clubs about Yaya going there in the summer. City don't do anything concrete. Yaya has given everything for the club and we don't feel that this situation is the right way to show how much they appreciate him."
Toure only has one year left on his £220k-a-week contract and this isn't the first time that the 32 year-old has threatened to quit the club he's twice helped win the Premier League, with the infamous cake incident and last summer springing instantly to mind.
Bayern Munich, Juventus and PSG have recently been linked with moves for the player whilst his former manager Roberto Mancini holds a long held desire to be reuited with his former signing at Inter Milan.

It looks certain that Toure will leave City in the summer and his agent may have helped him jump long before Guardiola had the chance to push him again.
