Manchester City failure to wish influential midfielder Yaya Toure a 31st birthday may results in the Ivorian dumping the Premier League champions.
Toure’s agent has strongly condemned the club’s treatment of the Ivorian following its failure to wish him a happy  birthday.
“There is a big possibility Yaya will leave this summer. He is very upset. What happened at his birthday means the club don’t care about him. It was proof,” Dimitri Seluk told The Sun.Â
“They can say whatever they want, ‘Oh we like him but we forgot’. Forgot? About Yaya? The player who helped you to be two-times Premier League champions? The guy who helped you win the FA Cup and League Cup?
“In a normal team, his team-mates and club would at least give him good wishes. But when you win the title and two days later you have a big party to celebrate the title and nobody comes to Yaya to say happy birthday, what more do you want?”
“If a player like Yaya went to Liverpool and they won the league for the first time in 24 years, Yaya would be a god in Liverpool.
“But at City, Yaya is no hero. He’s nobody. That’s how the club make him feel. He’s very upset and he started thinking about leaving the club. And he will leave if things carry on like this.
Seluk maintained that he and his client’s grief had nothing to do with them potentially benefiting financially, “We’re not doing this for more money. We probably can go for less money to another club. If they think they can buy everything, they are wrong. I think these people don’t care. Only stupid people would want Yaya to leave.”
The Ivorian international has often been regarded as one of the most underrated players in the world attributable to the fact that he was born in Africa.
