Yaya Toure will leave Manchester City this summer unless a new contract is agreed next week, his agent has said.

The Ivory Coast midfielder, who signed for City in 2010, has just a year left to run on his current four-year contract.

His agent Dimitri Seluk revealed he recently turned down a lucrative offer to play in China and has now issued City with an ultimatum.

Seluk toldĀ The Sun: "In the next week we must find a solution about whether Yaya will prolong his contract with City or he will go to another club.

"But if he leavesĀ CityĀ it will surely notĀ be for another English club."

Seluk said in January this year, amid reports of interest from a host of clubs across Europe, that ToureĀ would consider his options this summer.

Seluk also toldĀ Sky Sports News HQĀ last year that Toure wasĀ "90 per cent certain" to leaveĀ the Etihad in the summer of 2015.
