Yaya Toure: Man City midfielder rejects £430,000-a-week move to China

Toure, 33, was the subject of interest from the
Chinese Super League last summer.
He decided against moving then and gave the
same response when he was contacted again to
say the offer remained open during the current
transfer window, which closes on 31 January.
The Ivorian's contract at the Etihad expires in the
summer.
Toure's future appeared in doubt when he was left
out of the City squad by Pep Guardiola at the start
of the season.
However, he has been a regular for the club since
he was recalled in November and started his
seventh consecutive game in the 4-0 defeat at
Everton in the Premier League on 15 January.
Toure has been free to sign pre-contract
agreements with clubs overseas since 1 January
but it is understood he still enjoys the English
game.
Guardiola has not given Toure any guarantees
about his future beyond the summer.
The Ivorian, who joined City in 2010, has become
more important since Germany midfielder Ilkay
Gundogan suffered a cruciate ligament injury
against Watford on 14 December that is likely to
rule him out for the rest of the season

Midfielders Oscar and John Mikel Obi left Chelsea
to move to China earlier this month, while former
Manchester United and Manchester City forward
Carlos Tevez reportedly became the world's
highest-paid player when he joined Shanghai
Shenhua.
