Toure tipped for Barca exit

Toure tipped for Barca exit

Yaya Toure's agent claims that the player is 90 per cent likely to leave Barcelona this summer.

The Ivory Coast international is being strongly linked with a move to England with Arsenal and Manchester City both cited as possible destinations.

Toure has only played a bit part role this season in comparison to the previous campaign at Camp Nou.

And his agent Dimitri Selyuk feels that a clause in his contract has prevented Barca from using him as much.

"The player has a 90 per cent chance of leaving Barcelona this summer," he said.

"Unfortunately, this season, Toure has not played as much as I would have liked. I think that this is due to a clause in his contract.

"He has a major financial bonus if he plays more than 60 per cent of official matches this season."

Selyuk is insistent that his client - the brother of Manchester City defender Kolo Toure - will have few problems in finding a new club.

"He is the best player in the world in his position," he insisted.
