Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure claims he will one day return to play for Barcelona. The Ivory Coast international left the Spanish giants this summer in a big-money move to City despite the 27-year-old admitting it was a wrench to leave the Camp Nou.
Toure felt the time was right to move on given the emergence of Sergio Busquets who not only replaced him in Barca's starting line-up but forced his way into Spain's World Cup-winning team this summer.
"I will be back in Barcelona to play, not as a tourist," he told Radio Catalunya.
"I want to return to Barcelona, because to leave was the hardest moment of my life.
"Sergio Busquets is a very good player, and without Busquets, I would not have gone.
"He has great quality and what I want are games, not sitting on the bench. I won everything there and needed other challenges."
City splashed out £24million to sign Toure and link him up with brother Kolo, who signed from Arsenal a year earlier.
