Could Yaya Touré be joining Chelsea for a weekly wage of £300,000?
Reports from the British press indicate that Chelsea’s president, Roman Abramovich, is considering making an offer to Manchester City for the acquisition of Yaya Touré. The sudden interest in the Ivorian international is said to be fueled by statements from the player’s agent, who suggested that Touré has already contributed significantly to Manchester City and is seeking a new challenge.
The Daly Star suggests that Chelsea is willing to make a substantial financial commitment to secure the midfielder. Allegedly, the Blues’ manager is planning to propose a weekly salary of £300,000 to Yaya Touré, putting him in a salary bracket close to that of Samuel Eto’o, whose weekly earnings are £350,000 and is associated with Chelsea as well.
