Barcelona star Yaya Toure will not leave the Nou Camp in January but could consider his future in the summer, according to the midfielder's agent.

The Ivory Coast international has been linked with Arsenal and Manchester City as both sides look for strength and experience in the centre of midfield.

Toure, who joined Barcelona from Monaco in 2007, has previously admitted he is flattered by the interest but has constantly stated he does not want to leave the Catalan.

His agent, Dimitri Seluk, has reiterated Toure will not be heading for a new club in the winter transfer window but has hinted the 25-year-old could be tempted elsewhere at the end of the season.

Seluk told Radio Rac: "My player will stay at Barcelona. He won't move to another club in January.

"He loves the club and wants to stay for the foreseeable future. But he has many offers and in June the club might not refuse one of the offers."

And Seluk added when speaking to skysports.com that an increased salary could sway Toure.

"My agent is playing at the top level at the moment. He is on the same salary as when he was at Monaco," said Seluk.

"There are many clubs who are willing to pay him more, so we will see at the end of the season."
