Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has said he wants to stay at the club for “as long as possible”.<\/p>\n
Reports this summer suggested that the 31-year-old Ivory Coast international was unhappy at Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n
The player’s agent, Dimitry Seluk, had claimed Toure felt “disrespected” by the Premier League champions’ owners.<\/p>\n
But Toure told City’s website:\u00a0 “It was not a case of leaving the club. It was difficult because my situation was quite difficult.”<\/p>\n
Seluk claimed the player’s birthday was ignored by the club’s owners when the squad arrived in the United Arab Emirates to celebrate their Premier League title triumph in May.<\/p>\n
Toure appeared to support that claim on his Twitter account, before later suggesting he did not know which club he would be playing for in the coming season.<\/p>\n
Seluk then told BBC Sport his client wanted a “job for life” at the club despite his upset at his treatment.<\/p>\n
And Toure’s latest interview reaffirms that position, with him saying: “For me I was always quiet and my decision is that I will stay at Manchester City for as long as possible.”<\/p>\n
Toure, who signed a new four-year deal last season, also wants to see more signings in the coming weeks to help establish City as a “massive” club.<\/p>\n
He added: “If we want to be the best, we need to win every trophy possible.”<\/p>\n
