The agent of reported Everton target Yaya Toure has admitted that his client would be prepared to take a pay cut in order to move to another club in England’s top division club, according to Sky Sports.
The Ivory Coast man is set to end his eight-year stay at Manchester City at the end of the season and is open to staying in English football.
There is likely to be huge demand for Toure, with a host of clubs in the Premier League prepared to make a move for him.
Toure has been a bit part player at City in recent years but he is keen to show he can still compete at the highest level, and as auch, he’s willing to play for a much lower salary than the one he was picking up at City.
His agent said:
Yaya is fit and desperate to prove he’s still the best central midfielder in the Premier League. Ivory Coast will not be in Russia for the World Cup and next season he will be fit, rested and stronger than ever. He’s happy to accept a one-year deal to stay in England. And if his club are not satisfied with his performances, he will pay back half his wages, or the club can cancel his contract immediately, with no compensation.
