Tommy Nookah said:Toure passes Manchester City medical; agent fee delaying dealJune 29, 2010 | Transfer news | 3 Comments |
The protracted transfer of Yaya Toure to Manchester City is coming to a close, with only the question of the agent's fee to be resolved.
Toure made it clear he wishes to leave the Nou Camp some time ago, given his failure to hold down a regular starting 11 place last season at Barcelona. Manchester City have always been considered front-runners to sign the midfielder and now Toure appears to be finally on his way to Eastlands.
The Ivory Coast international played 34 times for the La Liga champions last campaign, scoring one goal and chipping in with six assists. He was set to be out of contract at Barcelona at the end of the 2011/2012 season.
According to Spanish daily 'Sport', Barcelona director general Joan Oliver confirmed that the clubs have agreed a deal, saying, "It is true that there is an agreement with City for Toure."
'Sport' claims that Manchester City have agreed to pay 30 million euros for Toure and that City's executive director Gary Cook had a four hour meeting with Toure, Barcelona officials and the player's agent at the Hotel Miramar in Barcelona to finalize the deal yesterday. Toure then reportedly underwent and passed a Manchester City medical at a local medical centre.
Apparently, the only thing holding up the deal is the question of how much Toure's outspoken agent, Dimitry Selcuk will receive. Once Selcuk's fee has been finalized, Toure will become part of Roberto Mancini's squad, joining his brother Kolo at Eastlands.
