Manchester City's Yaya Toure has reportedly been preparing to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer as the midfielder is yet to be told about his future under Pep Guardiola.

Reflecting on the news, Toure's agent Dimitri Seluk said that they would start discussing transfer with the other clubs as City's chances of offering a new contract to the 32-year-old before Guardiola's arrival seemed to be in doubt.

"City don't do anything concrete. Yaya has given everything for the club and we don't feel that this situation is the right way to show how much they appreciate him," Seluk was quoted as saying by goal.com.

Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Juventus are reportedly interested in signing the Ivorian international, whose contract expires at the end of next season.

Toure has netted only six goals in 26 Premier League appearances he had made for City this season.

Guardiola, who would leave his current club Bayern Munich this summer, had earlier signed a three-year deal of more than 15 million Euros a year to take over as City manager.
