It was reported that Yaya Touré, the Ivorian international midfielder, would extend his contract with Manchester City, turning down interest from Paris Saint-Germain and other European clubs. The decision was influenced by a substantial offer from the leaders of Manchester City.
The new contract was expected to be a four-year deal, effectively extending Touré’s stay with the English club until June 2017. The reported financial terms were lucrative, with Touré set to receive 13.2 million euros per season, making him the highest-paid player in the Premier League at that time. This was a significant increase from his previous annual salary of 11.1 million euros.
The decision to stay with Manchester City reflected Touré’s commitment to the club and suggested that the financial package offered played a pivotal role in securing the extension. Touré’s contributions to the team, both as a midfielder and a goal-scorer, made him a valuable asset for Manchester City during his time with the club.
