A-week Offer of £430,000 to Yaya Toure From China but he rejected it.



As the saying goes another man’s meat is another man’s posion
The Ivorian will be out of contract at the end of the season and has been approached by clubs from China who have been splashing on a host of star signings in recent months. Toure is said to have been the subject of interest from China last year but snubbed the offers.

He gave the same response when he was contacted again once the winter transfer window opened this month because he would prefer to continue playing in England, the BBC and other British media said.


It remains unclear whether City, who signed Toure from Barcelona in 2010, will offer him a new deal.

Mikel Obi is now the highest-paid Nigerian footballer



John Obi Mikel has received the sum of £2million (N1billion) from his former club, Chelsea, as severance package.



The Super Eagles captain spent 10 years at the club, before he departed in the January transfer window to sign for Chinese Super League side, Tianjin TEDA.

As part of the gesture to appreciate the 29-year-old, the Stamford Bridge club did not negotiate any fee for the midfielder and have now paid him off with his wages for the last six months of his deal.

The Nigerian made 374 appearances for the Blues and won 11 major trophies.

Mikel Obi is now the highest-paid Nigerian footballer having signed a £140,000-per-week contract with TEDA.

He has since joined his new team-mates in Malaga, instead of taking time off after the club gave him permission to rest following his medical in Amsterdam.
