Yaya Toure is staying at Manchester City.

There has been speculation he wanted a move away after suggesting his was unhappy at the Etihad Stadium.

Before heading to the World Cup with the Ivory Coast, he revealed his unhappiness at City's failure to celebrate his birthday.

He also hinted he had been forced to attend a post-season trip to Abu Dhabi while his brother Ibrahim was suffering from cancer.

Toure has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain. But after meeting City bosses this week, the 31-year-old insists he wants to stay.

Toure said: "The fans have always been good to me, they've always been good to my family.

"I want to stay. I will always honour my contract. I don't think about all this speculation. It's a big pleasure to stay and enjoy the next season.

"Everything is fine now. There was a lot of speculation, you know. I think sometimes it's quite disappointing.

"I need to do something for the fans, it's important to let them know. They've done a lot for me. The team is preparing well and we will try to win again next season."

Much of the uncertainty surrounding Toure's future has come from his agent Dimitri Seluk's comments.

But Toure made a point of backing his representative.

He added: "He's quite strong sometimes, but he's a very good guy.

"To be honest, we never wanted to talk about money. There are more important things than money. To be happy, healthy. Respect as well is very important."

And Seluk even made a joke of his claim that City didn't celebrate Toure's birthday.

Seluk said: "He is 100 per sent staying with City next season, not PSG or anywhere else.

"I hope now everybody will have a very friendly relationship. I hope his next birthday they will celebrate together."
