Man City prepared to allow Yaya Toure join Premier League rival

Manchester City outcast Yaya Toure wants to stay in England.

The Daily Mail says Toure wants to stay in the Premier League if he leaves Manchester City in the January transfer window.

The Ivory Coast star accepts he has no future at the Etihad following a spectacular fallout between his agent Dimitri Seluk and new City boss Pep Guardiola.

City want to get Toure's £220,000-a-week wages off their books and will be open to offers in January.

It's understood they would be prepared to let the 33-year-old midfielder join one of their rivals.

Toure returned to training this week but was not included in the extended party that travelled to South Wales for last night's EFL Cup tie at Swansea and Saturday's Premier League clash with the same opponents.
