The offseason of Yaya Touré and his future with Manchester City became even more interesting on Tuesday when he went on Twitter to address rumors of his unhappiness with the club.
Touré's agent, Dimitri Seluk, claimed that he's unhappy at City.
City is determined that Touré will not be sold this summer.
“There’s a big possibility Yaya will leave this summer,” Seluk told the Sun. “What happened at his birthday meant the club don’t care about him. It was proof. When your best worker has his birthday from time to time it’s not bad to shake his hand. To make him feel valued and appreciated. They don’t give any attention to Yaya.”
Touré had initially used Twitter to deny what Seluk said. He wrote: “Thanks for all the birthday messages today. Card from City just arrived … Must have got lost in the post. Haha. Jokes aside. Please do not take words that do not come out of MY mouth seriously. Judge my commitment to @MCFC by my performances.”
But less that an hour later Touré did an about turn, tweeting: “My agent was trying to make a point here on my behalf, joke aside. It seems important for me to make a statement.. i am going to do so. Everything dimitry said is true . He speaks for me. I will give an interview after world cup to explain.” He later deleted his initial tweet.
