Yaya Touré’s Potential Move to Paris Saint-Germain Gains Momentum Amid Transfer Rumors
The future of Yaya Touré at Manchester City has once again come into question, with new rumors suggesting a possible move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) next summer. The latest speculation stems from comments made by Serge Aurier, Touré’s Ivorian compatriot and current PSG player, who revealed that the midfielder has expressed an interest in joining the French champions.
“We talked a little bit. No one can refuse Paris. He has an attraction to Paris, but I’m not doing the negotiating,” Aurier said with a laugh. “I talked about it with him, Paris interests him, but the club and the player have to agree on certain things. After talking it over with him, he would like to see himself in Paris one day.”
Although Touré is still contracted to Manchester City until 2017, rumors of his departure have been circulating since the beginning of the year. Several clubs have reportedly shown interest in the Ivorian, with Inter Milan previously linked to him. However, the Italian club is said to be hesitant, mainly due to Touré’s high salary, which could be a stumbling block in negotiations.
The idea of joining PSG has long been a topic of discussion, with Touré’s strong ties to the city and the club’s ambitious project appealing to the 32-year-old. However, any potential move would require agreement from both the player and the club, and negotiations would likely revolve around personal terms and his sizable wages.
As the 2016 summer transfer window approaches, it seems that Yaya Touré‘s future could be heading toward a new chapter, with Paris Saint-Germain emerging as a viable destination.
