Toure would like to finish career at Barcelona

Asked about the rumours linking him with a move to the English Premier League (read more here), Barcelona defensive midfielder and Ivory Coast international Yaya Touré (25) has said in an interview with Catalan radio station Catalunya Ràdio that leaving Barcelona is not an issue at this moment:

"I want to remind you that I'm a professional and for now I don't consider a change. The important thing is to continue at a big club and Barça is one of the biggest clubs. It's now about working, helping the team to win trophies. I like Barça a lot and finishing my career here would be a great honour."

Toure is a phenomenon. He is the most important defensive player in the team. You can change any of the centre-backs but remove Toure from the team and the defense gets exposed. I hope he finishes his career at Barca. Please give him a raise too.

I hope he gets his wish. He is a monstar and we could use him in our team for years to come :)

i love this man, i think that despite what everybody says about him, he is still underrated. i believe he is the greatest defensive player in the world (dont argue for alvez, he is not a defensive player).

lol @ Gopinath.

"Toure is a phenomenon. He is the most important defensive player in the team" KK

"He is a monstar and we could use him" KO

"despite what everybody says about him, he is still underrated" Areign

Agree with all. And like he mentions, he's just being professional and commenting for the present. As much as I would like it, the chances are unlikely

im happy/relieved that he is staying.
we need his strength and (really important) his height, espescially in champions league play to defend against set pieces.
