Check out the gallery above for 10 players who could replace Toure

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure's future has been thrown into doubt this week with his agent's claim that the player feels undervalued.

The Blues are determined to hold onto Toure, whose 20 league goals helped drive them to the title this season.

But if the club were forced to look for a replacement, here are 10 potential candidates.

Paul Pogba: has the power and game to rival Toure even though he has maturing to do. Would be extremely expensive but at just 21 could offer value.

Ross Barkley: Showed against City he has the drive in his game that Toure has trademarked. Needs to up his consistency though.

Bastian Schweinsteiger: Bayern Munich's complete midfielder whose contract expires in 2016. Not ideal in terms of age at 29 but if you want big game experience there are few players with more.

Javi Martinez: More defensive than Yaya but still offers that big physical presence. Under contract with Bayern until 2017 but has been linked with a move because he hasn't played as often as he would have liked.

Sergio Busquets: If Yaya is eyeing a move back to the Nou Camp, how about a swap deal for the man who effectively ousted him, Sergio Busquets? Still just 25 but a supremely efficient operator.

Arturo Vidal: Tigerish Juventus midfielder who has been strongly linked with a move to United. In the prime of his career and with 18 goals in all competitions for Juve last season could pick up Yaya's tally.

Ilkay Gundogan: Signed a new deal with Borussia Dortmund but potential for next summer. 23-year-old is more attack-minded that Toure but capable of sublime skill and can play defensively.

Cesc Fabregas: Doesn't have the physical presence of Yaya but does have the all round game, and his passing range makes up for less drive.

Blaise Matuidi: Just signed a new four year deal with PSG but a swap deal could be a possibility there. Plays in the holding role that Yaya is often employed in at City.

Claudio Marchisio: Consistent performer for Juve with a box-to-box style.
