City captain Kompany put pen to paper on a five-year contract extension in the summer but he is more pleased that team-mates such as Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Samir Nasri, Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov have also agreed to stay at the club.

Midfielder Toure was linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium at the end of last season and is reportedly still on the radar of Real Madrid, but he has made it clear that he is happy to stay.

Toure is under contract until 2017 and Kompany expects him to sign on for even longer.

He told the Sunday People: "What matters most is not that I signed. It is that David Silva, Samir Nasri and Aleksandar Kolarov did the same. Now, it's not far off for Yaya as well.

"This is a very strong sign. All of these players could play for one of the biggest clubs in the world and they have decided to have faith in City.

"I've had a strong relationship with City for years and the decision to extend was normal. I'm looking to the future."

Kompany has been at City since 2008 and he believes the future is very bright for the club.

"I try to explain that this club is not what people think. It has much stronger foundations than it seems," he said.

"It's something that does not just serve the first team, but also young players in order to thrive and future generations.

"I hope it will allow children in the area to break into football."
