In the press, it is claimed that representatives of "Manchester City" have traveled to China, where they have been presented with two lucrative offers for the player Yaya Toure to come and play in the country's league.
The teams "Shanghai SIPG" and "Jiangsu Suning" are prepared to pay the 33-year-old footballer a weekly wage of up to 300 thousand pounds. Toure still has a contract with "City" for a year, but the new team coach Pep Guardiola does not seem to want him in his squad, so the African player is forced to look for a new team.
It is reported that Toure's current contract with "Manchester City" will certainly not be a problem for the Chinese clubs. The player can buy out his contract for 10 million pounds and become a free agent, and to encourage him to do so, these Chinese teams are willing to pamper Toure with a sum of 20 million pounds just for joining their team.
"Yaya's representatives have had meetings with both teams and both of them have presented strong offers. Buying out his contract with "City" would not be a problem for him, as he would receive double the amount just for joining one of these teams," - SunSport quotes one of the sources in China.
Toure is also interested in some teams competing in Europe, including the "Inter" team coached by former "Man City" strategist Roberto Mancini. However, it is undisputed that none of the European teams could offer contracts of such value as the ones presented to him by both Chinese clubs.
