(GSM) Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has hinted that he will one day return to his former club Barcelona.
The Cote d Ivoire international left the Catalan giants this summer in a big-money move to City.
Having helped Barca win every club honour available to them in 2009, it surprised many to see 27-year-old swap them for a side which had not won a major trophy since 1976.
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.
But Toure, who joined Barca from Monaco in 2007, claims he will re-sign for the Catalan club later in his career.
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.
