City set to nab Barca star
Cote d’Ivoire World Cup star Yaya Toure is headed for Manchester City for £25m. According to reports, City are in the process of finalising negotiations with his current club Barcelona. The defensive midfielder will join his older brother Kolo Toure at the ambitious club and will sign a four-year deal worth £6m per season. Yaya, who has long been a target for City, spent the past season on the bench at Barcelona with coach Pep Guardiola preferring young Spanish international Sergio Busquets in the defensive midfield position.
