Seluk told SunSport: “I think Yaya will leave the club. But before leaving I hope he will win again the League and all the cups.

3. Pep Guardiola could sign Dimitri Payet, Busquets and Suarez
According to the rumours, Payet is one of Guardiola’s top transfer targets. The Frenchman has been a sensation in the Premier League since joining West Ham from Marseille last summer.
However, it should be noted that Payet has also publicly insisted he is happy to remain at Upton Park long-term.
Barcelona player Sergio Busquets also hints that Pep Guardiola could sign him for Manchester City.
In his interview for ESPN Busquets said: “I always said that there are only two people who can change my decision to play for Barcelona. One is my wife and the other is Guardiola. It’s clear that I have a big debt with him and it would be an honour to work with him again.But he knows that my club is Barcelona, I don’t think he’ll ask me to work for him.”
The 45-year-old will replace Manuel Pellegrini, who will leave on June 30.
Furthermore, Ahead of his move, Guardiola is already making plans to ‘steal’ Suarez from the Catalan giants as the Uruguayan hitman has formed a devastating relationship with Lionel Messi and Neymar Jnr which has seen them evolve into the world’s most potent attack force.
