Already? Man City icon Yaya Toure cut loose by Olympiakos

Manchester City icon Yaya Toure has been cut loose by Olympiakos.

Sport24 says Toure has left Olympiakos after just three months and five matches.

The Ivorian joined Olympiakos in September following his Manchester City exit in the summer.

Toure hasn't played a game since the start of November and has made only three starts for the Greek club.

He has fallen well short of what was expected of him and bid farewell to his teammates after training on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old had a number of offers in the summer, including some from the Premier League, but opted to join Olympiakos.

Toure has been substituted in each of his three starts and was hooked at half time in the shock defeat to OFI Crete.
