TV3 is reporting on Thursday evening that the 27 year old Ivory Coast midfielder will be joining his brother Kolo at Manchester City. The Spanish news channel is saying that Toure’s has reached an agreement with the club for a reported 20 million euros. However, Barcelona’s asking price has been 35 million so we will have to wait and see if the transfer will be made in the coming days.

Toure’s agent did not miss giving a parting shot to outgoing president Joan Laporta regarding the hefty price tag saying that it was way too much for a player that they chose not to play very much this past season.

It has been rumored since the end of the season that midfielder Yaya Toure would be leaving Barcelona for the Premiership. There was constant speculation that Toure had fallen out of favor with head coach Pep Guardiola following statements by both player and agent over playing time.
