Chinese club prepares £30M-a-year offer for Yaya Toure

Chinese club Jiangsu Suning is ready to give the four-time African Footballer of the Year Yaya Toure a contract worth £30 million a season if he leaves Manchester City in the summer, according to The Telegraph's Matt Law.

Pep Guardiola new position as manager has brought Toure's future in doubt considering the duo fellout during their days at Barcelona. Toure left the Blaugrana in 2010, reportedly claiming that Guardiola sidelined him for a year.
While Law indicates that Toure wants to remain at the Etihad until his contract ends in June 2017, his agent, Dimitry Seluk, suggested Monday that the influence of Guardiola would force the 32-year-old to find a new club.
The Spanish manager is reportedly targeting upgrades in the central defence and midfield, which are all part of a suspected £150-million transfer kit.

Jiangsu Suning proved its ambition with the £21-million signing of Brazilian midfielder Ramires from Chelsea in January, asserting itself as a player in the transfer market. Two other Chinese outfits are trailing the four-time African Footballer of the Year, as well.
If Toure strike deal with the Chinese club, that would double his weekly wages to £576,923 a week and place him among the top five earners in the sport.
