Star midfielder Yaya Touré has arguably been Manchester City’s most important player over the last three seasons, during which the club has won two Premier League titles. Just a few days after Touré lifted the Premier League title and paraded around Manchester, the Ivorian midfielder’s agent says his player is now considering leaving the team… over a birthday “snub.”

Touré celebrated his 31st birthday on May 13th, two days after Manchester City’s season finale. After the season concluded, Manchester City went to Abu Dhabi, where team owners celebrated the title with a giant cake.

The owners did not shake Touré’s hand to wish him a happy birthday, however, and he’s very upset. Touré’s agent, Dimitri Seluk, told the BBC that Manchester City owners failed to do the “minimum” in honoring Touré.

“None of them shook his hand on his birthday. It’s really sick…. He got a cake but when it was Roberto Carlos’s birthday, the president of Anzhi [Makhachkala] gave him a Bugatti. I don’t expect City to present Yaya with a Bugatti, we only asked that they shook his hand and said ‘we congratulate you’. It is the minimum they must do when it is his birthday and the squad is all together…. Of course Yaya is upset about this. If this happened to you as a journalist in the BBC and nobody shakes your hand, you will say bye-bye and go to work for somebody else. It is normal.”

Touré tweeted that everything his agent said is true, and that he will address the situation after the World Cup.
