Toure hints at Barca return

(GSM) – Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has hinted that he will one day return to his former club Barcelona.

The Cote d’Ivoire international left the Catalan giants this summer in a big-money move to City.

Having helped Barca win every club honour available to them in 2009, it surprised many to see 27-year-old swap them for a side which had not won a major trophy since 1976.

Toure felt the time was right to move on given the emergence of Sergio Busquets, who not only replaced him in Barca’s starting line-up but forced his way into Spain’s World Cup-winning team this summer.

But Toure, who joined Barca from Monaco in 2007, claims he will re-sign for the Catalan club later in his career.

“I will be back in Barcelona to play, not as a tourist,” he told Radio Catalunya.

“I want to return to Barcelona, because to leave was the hardest moment of my life.

“Sergio Busquets is a very good player, and without Busquets, I would not have gone.

“He has great quality and what I want are games, not sitting on the bench. I won everything there and needed other challenges.”
