Guardiola deemed Toure surplus to requirements at Barcelona, leading to his move to Man City in 2010, and it appears the Spaniard has no place for the languid playmaker in his Etihad Stadium plans either.
Seluk, speaking to the Daily Mail, has lifted the lid on the situation, claiming the Cote d’Ivoire hero will be chased by many clubs in January – when he’ll be available on a pre-contract deal – and that Guardiola’s decision to axe him from first-team duties will cost the Citizens lots of fans.
“They will lose a lot of millions of supporters from Africa because of this decision from Guardiola.
“Now they will support Manchester United. A lot of people in Africa say they will never see any more matches of City on TV. Yaya in January can sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs abroad.
“He will have many offers from clubs. China and America of course they want him but we will have a lot of offers from England and Europe. He is in very good shape, very good condition, I think he lost seven kilograms.
“Maybe that’s not good enough for Guardiola, but then Zlatan Ibrahimovic wasn’t good enough for him. In January we will see. It is three months to wait — no problem. Yaya is a very professional guy.”
Toure’s agent has created headlines in the past, with one of the biggest stories being ‘cake-gate’ – when he revealed the veteran midfielder was frustrated by his birthday not being properly honoured by the club.
