Manchester City bosses have been left fuming after Yaya Toure revealed he would like to join Paris Saint Germain.<\/p>\n
City are furious at comments made to a French magazine by their star midfielder, and they will now make it clear to the 31-year-old that he must stop talking about his future while he is away at the World Cup with Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n
Toure is already in the bad books with the champions following last week’s bizarre events.<\/p>\n
His agent Dimitri Seluk claimed the midfielder was unhappy and had been shown a lack of respect by City for failing to acknowledge his birthday.<\/p>\n
Seluk insisted Toure would move and find a new club if City failed to treat him in the right way.<\/p>\n
And the player Tuesday added fuel to the fire when he said: “Given the goals of Paris, how could you not be interested in a club like that?<\/p>\n
“PSG have become one of the strongest teams in Europe. It would be a honour to one day play for a club like that. If I can be of service”.<\/p>\n
When asked if he would stay with Manuel Pellegrini’s men this summer, Toure refused to pledge his future to the big spenders.<\/p>\n
“Given the magnificent season Manchester City have had, everyone talks about me and everything is open,” he added.<\/p>\n
“My agent, Dimitri, is hanging on the telephone and he knows what he has to do, I have complete confidence in him.<\/p>\n
“Nobody knows what can happen tomorrow, my attention is on the World Cup and we will see afterwards.<\/p>\n
