Yaya Toure’s father expects his son to stay at
Manchester City this summer despite the midfielder being heavily linked with a move away from Eastlands.
The midfielder's adviser, Dmitry Seluk, revealed last month that the 31-year-old was considering leaving the club because he felt under-appreciated after the Etihad Stadium outfit's owners had failed to acknowledge his birthday.
French outift Paris St-Germain were thought to be leading the race for the Ivory Coast international's signature, with City officials increasingly frustrated with Toure's refusal to commit his future to the club.
Toure has since said he will clarify his future for certain after the World Cup, but Mory Toure has vehemently denied his son will quit the Premier League champions.
"No, he won’t leave," Mory Toure told
Goal. "And it’s not even my wish that he leaves Manchester City. It’s said that the most wished for changes bring their sadness. And I reconfirm that he won’t leave.
"If Yaya wanted Manchester City to pay particular attention to the date of his birthday, it’s because he felt that it was the right moment for the club to show him their consideration for all the sacrifices made for City to be at this level.
"It’s a situation he didn’t appreciate. And as he’s a boy who doesn’t keep his frustrations to himself, he preferred to express himself. But I think it’s a situation which will be resolved."
