The fate of Y.Toure will be revealed after the World Cup

"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.
