Yaya Toure offered £500k a week TAX-FREE to quit Manchester City

YAYA TOURE has been offered a sensational £500k a week TAX-FREE to quit Manchester City for the Chinese Super League.

But the Ivory Coast midfielder will not make a decision on his future until he discovers whether he is going to be part of new City boss Pep Guardiola’s plans.

Toure, 33, played for – and was eventually sold by – Guardiola at Barcelona.

But he is in no hurry to quit City, despite the incredible riches on offer in China.

Chinese brokers have offered him a three-year deal worth £78million, including bonuses and signing-on fees. There would also be a £25m fee for City.

He is wanted as a figurehead for the league with Jiangsu Suning his most likely destination.

Toure is also wanted by his former Etihad boss Roberto Mancini at Inter Milan.

But the appeal of working under Guardiola again is holding up a move anywhere – for the time being at least.
