Chinese willing to make Man City hero Yaya highest paid in history

Manchester City ace Yaya Toure can become the highest paid player in the game by moving to China.

The Telegraph says he could be offered a staggering £30million-a-year AFTER TAX to become the latest high-profile star to head to China.

Toure earn £576,923-a-week — more than double his whopping £240,000-a-week salary at City.

That would make the two-time Prem winner the third-highest paid player on the planet, behind only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The European transfer window slammed shut this week, but Asian sides have until February 26 to complete signings.

It is unclear whether a move for Toure will be made before that date.
