Yaya Toure's Agent At It Again With New Transfer Claim

Yaya Toure's agent must have some dirt on the player because the amount he's been able to get away with in the past would have seen most players sack their representative but instead they seem to go from strength to strength and Dimitry Seluk is at it again!

The thing that Toure is most well known for at Manchester City is demanding a birthday cake and then getting upset and threatening to leave the club when he didn't get one.

That's pretty bloody sad for a player that helped transform the club from wannabees to perennial league challengers and two time Premier League winners but that's what he's been reduced to because of Seluk.

This season Toure started the campaign completely out of Pep Guardiola's plans mainly because of comments made by the player's agent and he waited for an apology before he would allow the Ivorian in the side. It eventually came from Yaya and he was allowed to play.

But Seluk is back at it again. The former Barcelona midfielder's contract runs out at the end of this season and talking to Sky Sports he revealed that Toure is likely to leave the Etihad and that he'd be open to a move to Old Trafford!

"Why not? Jose Mourinho is a very good coach. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was together with Yaya in Barcelona. I understand this is two clubs who are rivals but for me, for example, this is not a problem.

"At this moment the situation is like this -- from yesterday we officially started negotiating with different clubs about his future.

"We cannot wait until the last minute, until June, and have no negotiations with anybody."

And Seluk also confirmed that the 33 year old wouldn't be moving to the MLS or the Chinese Super League adding, "Some clubs have contacted me. Now we have three options. I don't speak about Yaya and China or MLS. He will play in Europe. I have spoken with clubs in different countries -- Italy and Spain.

"Clubs from England waited for the situation with Manchester City, but now we can speak in England."

The player recently added a different spin on his future suggesting he wanted to stay at City and saying, "I love this football club."

I have a feeling that Yaya won't be moving across the city this summer.

Never has a player's agent placed such a shadow on a player's reputation!
