Yaya Toure insists he is staying at Barcelona.
The 26-year-old is a target for Manchester City, who already employ his brother Kolo, but the midfielder has ruled out a move to the Premier League.
"I am happy at Barcelona and I don't think there is a club in the world that is bigger than this one," Toure is quoted in The Sun. "For me, the only priority is that the team keeps on winning."
Despite this rejection, Mark Hughes is unlikely to be too downbeat, particularly as the form of Holland international Nigel de Jong has been excellent in recent weeks.
