'Strong interest in Toure’, claims Manchester City star’s agent

Yaya Toure’s agent has claimed there is strong interest in the midfielder from "two of the biggest clubs", amid rumours he could be set to leave Manchester City this summer.

The Ivory Coast star has appeared to open the door for a Blues exit, with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan - managed by his former City boss Roberto Mancini - mentioned as possible destinations.

Toure was quoted on Tuesday as saying he is open to ''new challenges'' and that he will not stay at a club simply to collect wages, and Mancini is reportedly keen to lure his former talisman to Italy.

Those comments came two days after his agent Dimitri Seluk was quoted as saying "two of the biggest clubs" had asked him about Toure's availability, adding: "If City want Yaya to leave, they should come out and say so."

And, quoted by Sky Sports News on Wednesday, Seluk said: "We have had different offers for Yaya but we must speak to Manchester City.

"People think he will stay because of money but we don't care about money. If Man City don't want him - no problem.

"I want someone to say that they want Yaya to stay at Manchester City. Yaya is a legend at the club. All the supporters like him, he's helped them make history."
