Manchester City legend Yaya Toure offered to ISL sides

Manchester City and Barcelona legend Yaya Toure has been offered to a number of clubs in the ISL (Indian Super League) ahead of next season's campaign. Harcus Consultancy Group, the agency which represents the 37-year-old has contacted ISL clubs FC Goa and Bengaluru FC on LinkedIn regarding the possibility of signing the Ivorian.

Speaking about the possible transfer, FC Goa’s director of football Ravi Puskur said,

"We were a bit surprised that a player of his calibre wanted to come to India. However, we also expected his salary to be quite high, so we didn’t pursue him. It was evident from the very beginning that the price would be beyond reasonable expectations of most ISL clubs"
