Manchester City's current crop of players may be preparing to welcome Pep Guardiola as their new manager, but one important figure might not be around to welcome the Catalan tactician to the Etihad Stadium.

Ivorian midfielder Yaya Toure is reportedly set to depart the club prior to Guardiola's arrival, according to his agent, Dimitri Seluk.

"From this moment we start to discuss with different clubs about Yaya going there in the summer," Seluk told the Sun, as quoted by Manchester Evening News. "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."

The two worked together at Barcelona in 2010, before Toure was sold by Guardiola to Manchester City.
