Pellegrini insists Toure wants Man City stay

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini insists Yaya Toure is happy where he is.

The Daily Mail says it is understood that City will listen to offers for Toure this summer and the midfielder has cast further doubt over his future by saying that his £220,000-a-week contract at the Etihad will not stop him leaving to pursue "new challenges" amid interest from Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.

But Pellegrini said: "Maybe the new challenge is City also. There are lot of different places you can have it. City also is a challenge and I am sure Yaya is very happy here.

"In a club, especially a big club, you have a problem every day. You always have problems, you have to manage them in the best way you can. It's important that everyone can say what they want."
