Yaya Toure has gone as far as he can at Manchester City and wants a new challenge at another club, according to quotes attributed to his agent.
The Ivory Coast midfielder's representative, Dimitri Seluk, believes his client has done everything he can at City after winning the FA Cup and Premier League title.
Seluk feels several European heavyweights, including English rivals and last year's Champions League winners Chelsea, would be interested in signing the 29-year-old.
But the agent would most like to see Toure return to Barca, from where he joined City in 2010 in a reported £24million move after three seasons at Camp Nou.
"Toure has done everything that he can with City and needs new motivations," Seluk was quoted as saying by Sport.
"He could sign for many big clubs, like Chelsea or Bayern Munich, but I would like it if Barca made a bid for him."
