Toure Wants Attention
Thursday, 22nd May 2014 09:03

Yaya Toure is not motivated by money but instead by the pursuit of a long-term technical role at City, according to his agent. Seluk suggested that one of Toure's main gripes was the club's failure to mark his 31st birthday last week.

However, in an interview with Sky Sports News the Ukrainian now says that Toure would be happy to stay with the Citizens should he be offered a coaching position or sporting director's role when he calls a time on his career.

Seluk said: "Of course. Like Real Madrid did with (Zinedine) Zidane for example. Zidane played then after that he started working for the club.

"Yaya needs the club in the future.

"We don't want any more pounds, not a longer contract, nothing like this, only really attention.

"More attention (paid) to Yaya and Yaya must feel happy at the club - that's the main thing.

"I'll tell you one more time, we don't need one more pound in the contract."

Toure has three years remaining on his current deal with City.
