The Ivory Coast international's current deal expires this summer and while there have been talks over extending his stay, nothing has yet materialised.
Toure, 34 later this month, remains hopeful an offer will be forthcoming but even if it is he has a tough choice to make as to whether to stay on in the knowledge he will only be a squad player or to make the most of his remaining time in the game by looking for regular football elsewhere.
"We are still talking to the club. We will see in a few days. The club have to think and I have to think," he said.
"It is a big decision and that is why I need to think very hard and take a decision and stick with it.
"It is very important to know what you are facing. I need to do the right thing for me and my family."
