Yaya Toure has called on his former Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi to join him at Manchester City.
Toure who played with Messi for three years at the Camp Nou during which they both won the Treble in 2009 feels that there is not enough room for both Messi and Brazil star Neymar to co-exist at Barca.
Toure who spoke with beIN Sport said: "If Messi can leave Barca? To come to us, yes! I want to say yes! At Barcelona, there is always one star. One. Two is not possible.
"With the recent injury to Messi and the off-the-field problems that he is having at the moment, and with Neymar gradually getting promoted, it is complicated for [Messi], for sure."
Kun Aguero, Messi's national team mate also expressed similar interests by telling Manchester Evening News: "Should he come to City? Yes, he should come to City. Then we’ll definitely play together! City should buy him!"
Reports of a likely move away from the Camp Nou have however been dismissed by Messi's father and agent.
