Manchester City midfielder and Inter target Yaya Toure has reportedly received two lucrative offers from China.
The Ivory Coast international has been linked with a move to the Nerazzurri since last summer, as Coach Roberto Mancini is believed to want a reunion with his former pupil.
Toure’s agent admitted on Wednesday that ‘we’re in talks with Mancini’ but reports today suggest he’s edging towards China instead.
Manchester City midfielder and Inter target Yaya Toure has reportedly received two lucrative offers from China.
The Ivory Coast international has been linked with a move to the Nerazzurri since last summer, as Coach Roberto Mancini is believed to want a reunion with his former pupil.
Toure’s agent admitted on Wednesday that ‘we’re in talks with Mancini’ but reports today suggest he’s edging towards China instead.
The Sun writes that the midfielder has received offers worth €388,000 per week from Shanghai SIPG and Jiangsu Suning.
The outlet reports that Toure’s representatives have told City that he wants to leave on a free transfer this summer or he’ll buy himself out of his contract for a fee of around €13m.
“Yaya’s had his people meeting with both Shanghai and Jiangsu and they have both made firm offers,” a source in China told the newspaper.
“Buying himself out of his contract at City would not be a problem because he would recoup it twice over from the signing on fee he would get for coming over here.”
The signing fee in question is believed to be around €26m, says the report. Toure currently has one year remaining on his deal with the Citizens.
