Yaya Toure

The Ivorian, 32, left Barcelona to join City in a £25million switch after Guardiola favoured Sergio Busquets over him and his agent has launched an attack on the Spaniard.

Seluk told SunSport: “I think Yaya will leave the club. But before leaving I hope he will win again the League and all the cups.

“It’s not a question of whether Pep likes him or not. It’s life, you know.

“Pep can call Yaya and speak to him to let him know ‘I’m with you’ or ‘I am not with you’.”

Seluk attacked Guardiola for leaving Barcelona in 2012 while City technical director Txiki Beguiristain and chief executive officer, Ferran Soriano said he should be indebted to Yaya Toure for City’s rise.

He said: “In my opinion, everyone who has balls must stay in a team not only when they are successful but when things are difficult.

“Barcelona win because it’s like a big family and their structure is an example for everybody.

“So it’s not a question of persons. Luis Enrique has done the same as Guardiola. It’s not possible to say forever it’s the team of Guardiola.”

He added: “Yaya opened the door for the people who worked for Barcelona. Yaya went to a place where many changes were necessary. He was not afraid. But now everybody from Barca comes to City.

“Yaya won every trophy in England without Guardiola. Will Guardiola win without Yaya?”

Yaya Toure has 12 months left on his £240,000 per week contract, meaning City will have to pay him up to £12m if they wish to cancel his contract.
