Yaya Toure has agreed upon a one-year extension with Manchester City.

Toure joined City from Barcelona in 2010 and was free to leave the club this summer.

Toure insisted after the final of the game of the season that he wanted to play at the club until he retires.

"I'm delighted. I told myself the journey at City is not done and when I received a call from [director of football] Txiki Begiristain and talked to the manager I was very delighted," he told the club's website.

"When I was first coming here I was trying to be part of a new story, of something special at this club. I am very lucky now to be part of a great club with great players around me who are helping me to achieve my targets.

"Of course I want to win trophies, that is very important to me. I want to enjoy it at this age still and remaining here is a massive, massive thing.

"It is a great club, going in the right direction with new players who are coming in. Our mentality is always to win week in, week out and I'm delighted with the fans as well."
