The agent of Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has told the Daily Mail that the player will have no shortage of offers, as it looks as though his future at the Etihad Stadium is coming to an end.
Toure remains at the club but was left out of the Champions League squad by Pep Guardiola. Toure is in the final year of his contract and is allowed to agree deals with clubs from abroad in January.

His agent Dimitri Seluk told the Daily Mail: “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 has demonstrated during his years at Manchester City that he is a very talented footballer who is capable of being the inspiration when it comes to winning big football matches, and has had huge part to play in City’s success.

However, some may question his attitude on the field at times, and his powers are now on the wane.
His agent seems very keen on talking up midfielder as he looks to find another club for him for beyond this season. It will be interesting to see just who comes in with an offer for Toure given he reportedly commands £200,000 per week – as per the Daily Mail back in 2013 when he signed his current contract with the club.
Seluk also takes a swipe at Guardiola for his judgement of certain players by referencing Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has made an impressive start to life at Manchester United, while he seemed to find it a little difficult when managing the Swede in his side, and to match their style of play during their Barcelona days.
