Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Barcelona defensive midfielder and Ivorian international Yaya Touré (26) will be offered a pay rise this summer.
Touré, whose current contract expires in 2011 and who has a buyout clause of 90 million euro, is at this moment the least paid starter in the team and the club wants to reward the player for his performances over the last two years.
Asked about a possible renewal, the player's agent Dimitri Seluk has said in an interview with Catalan radio station Ona FM that he expects a deal could be found soon: "It's been months that we have been waiting to renew the contract of Yaya but we're calm because his contract doesn't expire this summer.
I nevertheless hope that we can solve things this year. Normally we should be able to reach an agreement. There have been rumours about Arsenal but that club is too small for Yaya. If something happens, a more powerful club will be involved. Arsenal isn't strong enough for Yaya."

Renew him, enough said.
Payrise yes !!!
Seems to have the most irritating agent though.
I've read another story that Txiki tried to avoid him at the airport of Rome when the team was flying back last week because he thought he would again start about the renewal. In the end, they had a cosy chat...
@rahul: sylvinho leaves this summer according to barcas official website! but i agree we should renew with etoo and valdes
DON'T RENEW HIS CONTRACT .
I DONT WAN'T HIM TO BREAK KAKA'S LEGS WHEN WE PLAY AGAINST U .
PLEASE HE'S MY FIRST SIGNING , I DON'T WANT TO LOOK STUPID LIKE I ALWAYS DID , I JUST SPENT HALF MY LIFE SAVINGS FOR HIM .
LOL
Yaya, Change your agent !!!
finally!
bout time.. :)
you could see cules loves him, when they chant his name from the celebrations.
and quote:
"that club is too small for Yaya."
LOL
THE YAYA is bigger than the Galaxy or galacticos
barca could barely contain him.. lol ;p
his the BLACKHOLE that can suck galaxy, he sucks and destroys every pass and players that comes through his way.. damn I love him.. :D
Renew his contract he deserves a pay rise he is our beast.The best DM in the world.
hello my fellow cules, sorry i ahve not posted very long but it has been a very busy day to clear a few things up, sandrusco is working with txiki an joan behind teh scenes on the transfers joan txiki an sandrusco have privately put their grievances behind them and laporta an txiki have both said they will publicly back sandrusco when next years election comes about!! watch this space!!, it has been incredible in the last 24 hours the club has had agents offering their players left right and centre, we are working so hard and i want to say on behalf of those at barca we thank you all for you kind words suggestions and comments we try our hardest to make this club as democratic as possible by giving you the supporters the right to tell us what you would want!!, i heard this last night sensationally within the top ranks milan offered kaka to sandrusco for his election term next year the sticking point would be real madrid, milan would prefer to do business with us as berlusconi/galliani have better relations with laporta/txiki than with real madrid they offered him to sandrusco for E70m euros, sandrusco thought turned down that offer as he has other targets, we are all looking at the left wing back position we are talking with depor about filipe and also with fernando roig about caceres returning on loan for next season!!, villarreal also have aproached us to loan bojan for next term, valdes is 3-4 weeks away from penning new deal!!, we have made contact with cesc but we have assured him we will come for him next season when sandrusco will launch his election cammpaign with him as his golden ticket!!.
best way to go
Great news.
Renew.
He deserves it!
We wont find a defensive midfielder with his quality for anything less than 40m euro.
One of our most important players this season
Oh, and insideknowledge, could you please try spacing and formating your posts a littlebit? I cant read a solid block of text like that :)
1 not resigning yaya is insane -- along with messi, iniesta, and xavi he should be untouchable
2 insideknowledge -- any possibility of signing gourcuff ?
what about signing maldini as defensive coach/coordinator ? to be honest, that would be the single most important signing of all
