Manchester City want to keep Yaya Toure involved once he hangs up the boots.

The Daily Mail says City are ready to offer Toure a role as a club ambassador when he retires from playing.

The Ivory Coast midfielder has two-and-a-half years left on his deal but City are open to extending his contract, which is worth £220,000 a week, and are set to tempt him with a prestigious job behind the scenes.

At the age of 31, this is likely to be Toure's final big-money contract.
