Speaking to Sport.es, the Ivorian midfielder revealed that his countryman previously indicated an interest in Barça.
"I've not spoken to him in a few weeks, but last year he was always telling me that he wanted to come to Barcelona," said Touré.
While such comments may have come during the difficult days of José Mourinho's leaving Chelsea and Avram Grant's installation as boss, nonetheless it could be the case that Drogba retains a soft spot for the blaugrana.
There he could potentially replace Samuel Eto'o as the Cameroonian's own transfer dramas continue.
For his part, Touré described his "respect" for Samuel, adding that he is "a good person with great character. He works and helps a lot.
"We want him to continue with us. If he stays, that's good news. He's a very positive person and he'd like to carry on here. In Scotland he played both pre-season games and showed a positive mentality."
This was partially down to the input of new coach Pep Guardiola. Yaya said of the new boss, "the best thing now is that we are all focused on the same goal" after the "problems" of last year.
