(MENAFN- Asia Times) Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has rejected offers from Chinese Super League clubs that would have paid the Ivorian around £430,000 a week (US$533,000), reports said on Tuesday.
Toure is 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.
The 33-year-old is said to have been the subject of interest from China last year. He snubbed those offers and 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.
