Yaya Toure's time with Manchester City appears to be coming to an end after the player's representatives claimed the midfielder has received two incredibly lucrative offers from clubs in China.
The Ivorian midfielder, widely recognised as one of the club's greatest-ever players, fell out-of-favour under Manuel Pellegrini towards the end of this season and may leave the Etihad Stadium in a move that would see him earn a whopping £300,000-a-week, according to "?The Sun.
Toure has a year left on his contract, but is expected to depart this summer and the latest report suggests that Shanghai SIPG and Jiangsu Suning have shown their financial might, offering to increase his a £240,000-a-week wages at City.
The source is quoted in the Sun: "Yaya's had his people meeting with both Shanghai and Jiangsu and they have both made firm offers.
"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."?
SIPG are an up-and-coming Chinese financial powerhouse now managed by ex-England and City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson. The club have already made a dramatic signal of their intent in capturing former Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan on a £227,000-a-week contract.
Toure is now 33 and thought to be past his best, meaning the club are keen to cash in on him while they can. Toure joined city from Barcelona for £25 in 2010 and was instrumental in helping them win two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and a League Cup.
