Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona officials could plan to meet soon with Barcelona defensive midfielder and Ivory Coast international Yaya Touré (25).
The club would be somewhat annoyed by the recent transfer rumours and wants to clarify the situation and to hear first hand about the wishes of the player.
Asked about the rumours linking him with a winter move to Juventus (read more here), Touré didn't want to comment on the issue yesterday upon arrival in Barcelona.
The player's agent Dimitri Sellyuk told journalists that Touré wants to focus on football: "Yaya isn't a movie star, so he doesn't spend his time giving interviews. He's a professional and he doesn't have any problem with the coach. He only wants to play, and to play with Barcelona."

Let him play!
i hope so.
if it is true it cant be because Pepe kept Tore' on the bench for 3 or so matches there there must be a real cause that make Tore' choose to leave, and by the way it could be Tore's will to leave that is keeping him out of the pitch!
Sky Sports quote Yaya:
"It is good to know there are big clubs interested in me. It is known that I have not played a lot for Barcelona so far this season.
"The coach rotates the midfield, and I am waiting for my chance. There are still plenty of games to play.
"The club is doing well, so we shall wait and see. I don't know (about moving to another club). You never know.
"I will take my chance at Barca when handed it. I love Barcelona. It is the biggest club, but there are others as well."
