3 Possible Summer Destinations For This Midfield Beast Including Chelsea And Barcelona

With Yaya Toure apparently unhappy with his stay at Manchester City because nobody wished him a happy birthday (Yes, you heard it correctly) his agent came out in public and said that money is not everything. While later on the Manchester City star claimed that it was a joke and he had no intention of leaving the Manchester club the rumour mills have already started linking the Ivory Coast star to various clubs all over the world. Here at Soccersouls we have a look at the top three destinations that Yaya Toure should consider moving to from Manchester City.

1. Barcelona:

While going back to a former club can sometimes feel like a step back in a player’s career sometimes it most assuredly is not if the name of the player is Yaya Toure and the name of the club is Barcelona. With Yaya Toure having another stellar season for the Citizens it is unsurprising that even after the influx of so much money, Yaya Toure is still irreplaceable. With Barcelona, nothing is a surprise and with the Barcelona midfield needing some freshening up and impetus who better to provide it than Yaya Toure, still one of the premier centre midfielders of this era. Luis Enrique is a new manager who will try to get his house in order and with this move Yaya Toure can ensure that he is playing at the absolute top level of European football.

2. Chelsea:

While the London club is apparently stocked with central midfielders, but also there can be no denying the fact that no club in the world with the means can afford to pass over someone like Yaya Toure if opportunity comes calling. A move to Chelsea will mean that Yaya Toure do not have to leave the country and he will also get to play under one of the best tacticians in the modern era. While a move seems unlikely do not discount the influx of Russian money if such a move indeed becomes possible. Yaya Toure will provide experience to the central midfield area and no matter how good Matic is he is still young and he can learn a lot from one of the best midfielders in the game.

3. Paris Saint Germain:

Another rich club which will pull out all the stops should the Ivory Coast star really be available. What PSG cannot offer in terms of absolute top level European prestige they can make it up with money, lots of money. A club which will offer absolutely ridiculous wages along side the chance to play along some really decent players will be a real motivation for Yaya Toure to try out the French club. In fact the lure of good money plus the challenge of a new thing might actually be something Yaya Toure finds alluring. After all if Ibrahimovic can make the move to PSG then why not Yaya Toure.
