"Manchester City" defender Yaya Toure, who plays in the ranks of the team, decided not to leave the team.
At the beginning of the summer, the Ivory Coast national team member expressed dissatisfaction with the club management and there were talks that the footballer could leave the team.
However, the central defender denied all rumors, stating that the club has always been good for both him and his family.
"There were a lot of talks, but the people in the club management have always been good to me and my family. I want to say that I will always respect my contract and stay with the team for as long as possible and will not pay attention to all the rumors about leaving", - firmly stated the 31-year-old African.
"For the fans, for everything they have done for me, I must say that it is a great pleasure for me to continue my journey in this club and I will try to enjoy the upcoming season".
"At the moment everything is fine. There was a lot said that people no longer wanted to see me here and wanted me to leave. Sometimes there are disappointments, but I have to do something because people love me and want to hear what's going on".
"It is important to get along well with them and let them know that the team's preparation for the season is going well and that we will try to win the title again", - said the footballer.
Y. Toure, who joined the team in 2010, signed a new contract last year that should keep him in the club at least until 2017.
