Yaya Toure: ‘it would be an honour to play for PSG'

Yaya Touré has said that it would be an “honour” to play for Paris St-Germain as the Ivorian continues to hint that he wants to leave Manchester City.

Last week the midfielder admitted discontent at the champions due to a lack of acknowledgment from the City hierarchy on his 31st birthday. Touré has since reiterated his wish to return to Barcelona and now says that he would be happy to play for PSG too.

“Given the goals of Paris, how could you not be interested in a club like that?” Touré told France Football. “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 [then good].

“Given the magnificent season Manchester City have had, everyone talks about me and everything is open. My agent, Dimitry [Seluk], is hanging on the telephone and he knows what he has to do, I have complete confidence in him. Nobody knows what can happen tomorrow, my attention is on the World Cup and we will see afterwards.”

Asked about Barcelona, who Touré played for before joining City, he added: “Yes, I have said I would like to finish my career at Barcelona. You never know because football moves quickly, you never know.”
