City are furious at comments made to a French magazine by their star midfielder.
And they will now make it clear to the 31-year-old that he must stop talking about his future while he is away at the World Cup with Ivory Coast.
Toure is already in the bad books with the champions following last week's bizarre events.
His agent Dimitri Seluk claimed the midfielder was unhappy and had been shown a lack of respect by City for failing to acknowledge his birthday.
Seluk insisted Toure would move and find a new club if City failed to treat him in the right way.
And the player yesterday added fuel to the fire when he said: "Given the goals of Paris, how could you not be interested in a club like that?
"PSG have become one of the strongest teams in Europe. It would be a honour to one day play for a club like that. If I can be of service".
When asked if he would stay with Manuel Pellegrini's men this summer, Toure refused to pledge his future to the big spenders.
"Given the magnificent season Manchester City have had, everyone talks about me and everything is open," he added.
"My agent, Dimitri, is hanging on the telephone and he knows what he has to do, I have complete confidence in him.
"Nobody knows what can happen tomorrow, my attention is on the World Cup and we will see
afterwards.
"Yes, I have said I would like to finish my career at Barcelona. You never know because football moves quickly, you never know."
City bosses are planning talks with Toure but have made it clear he will not be sold or handed a new contract.
