Amazing personal demands of Man City's Toure stun Al Hilal

Kolo Toure is pricing himself out of a move away from Manchester City.

The Mirror says Toure is asking for too much - even for a club as wealthy as Al Hilal.

Toure wants £50,000 a week - tax-free - for the next three seasons, with some of the money being paid up front.

The 31-year-old Ivorian - banned in 2011 for failing a drugs test - is also asking for a rent-free apartment and two cars.

On top of that, the former Arsenal star is looking for guaranteed business-class flights, plus the captaincy of Al Hilal before he would consider leaving the Premier League.

There is a further agent's fee of around £800,000 to be paid in advance - making the package a stretch even for the oil-rich club.
