Man City put Toure on sale

Published Saturday, June 30, 2012

No, it’s not that Toure, but his brother.

Yaya Toure’s sibling Kolo will be on the block after Manchester City said they are ready to listen to offers for their former skipper.

Man see Toure as someone with his best years behind him, but given his experience at top clubs and his technical ability, he might still be a good buy for some Premier League clubs.

For the moment though, British press have Turkish club Bursaspor as the ones preparing a move for the Ivory Coast central defender.

Middle East clubs are also said to be tracking the former Arsenal star and after reports that Michael Own could be in Dubai, the destination could offer Toure a lucrative end to his successful career.

Toure has only one year left on his current deal at the Etihad.

Toure was the fall back man for Roberto Mancini whenever Vincent Kompany and Joleon Lescott were injured. However, with both fit, Toure can expect to get little first team action and may be ready to move.
