Premier League leaders Manchester City will allow Yaya Toure to move to a Premier League club if an offer comes knocking. However, the Ivorian is yet to decide whether he wants to make a transfer in the winter transfer window or not.
A few days ago, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola had hit out against the player that he will not play for the club unless his agent, Dimitri Seluk, apologises for his criticism of the Manchester City manager.

According to English newspaper The Guardian, City is willing to sell Toure to a Premier League club as they do not consider the Ivorian a threat to City’s title push.
The two-time Premier League winners believe that at 33, the midfielder’s best days are behind him and are going to support a move to a rival club by the player. The midfielder has only started once since Pep Guardiola’s arrival.
Agent furthers rift between Toure and Guardiola
Toure’s agent, Seluk had criticised the former Barcelona manager after he was announced as Manuel Pellegrini’s successor.
The Catalan manager and the Ivorian midfielder had previously worked together in Barcelona, where they also had a falling out and a bad relationship.
Guardiola recently said that there is still a chance that Toure will play for Manchester City, but he made it clear that the player will only feature if his agent apologises for the criticism leveled at him for leaving Toure out of the last Champions League squad.

In response, the Ukrainian agent insisted that no apology will be made for his comments.
Toure a City legend
Yaya Toure has won 6 trophies in his time at the Etihad Stadium. He has made 195 appearances and scored 95 goals in that period. Toure has been the backbone of City’s rise to England’s elite and their recent success.
In the last transfer window, Pep Guardiola brought in Ilkay Gundogan as Toure’s replacement, and the German midfielder impressed in his first outing for Manchester City in the Premier League game against Bournemouth, where he also scored in the 4-0 demolition of the Cherries.
According to reports coming from Italy, Italian giants Juventus and Inter Milan are preparing a move for the Ivorian midfielder.
