As Seluk also stated that Yaya Touré may leave City, despite having three years left on a £220,000-a-week contract, the Ivorian’s subsequent tweets also came as an endorsement of this.
“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.
City, while not wishing to inflame the situation, are calm about Touré’s future. There is no will to allow him to leave, with the three years he has signed up for placing the Premier League champions in a strong position.
