"Manchester City" defender Yaya Toure cannot confirm whether he will remain at the Premier League champions next season.
"Good question. I will be honest - there are talks going on, rumors swirling, but a player always needs to remain calm.
Fans and your supporters always want a direct answer, but now I have a different task ahead of me. I am going to Qatar, where I will try to recover from injury and prepare for the upcoming World Cup," the African said.
"After the World Cup, I will make a statement. The World Cup is important for my country, so I need to be focused."
31-year-old Y. Toure arrived in Manchester four years ago when the "Citizens" paid £24 million for the Barcelona midfielder.
