The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 star has recently won the Premier League with Manchester City and has claimed that he is looking for a new challenge.
Yaya Toure has performed phenomenally under the Italian coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s men on song.
Since leaving Barcelona, the Ivory Coast midfielder has seen himself develop into a player who can perform in several different positions.
Roberto Mancini has tested the star midfielder not only in his favourite holding midfield position, but also in the attacking midfield role.
Upon leaving Barcelona, Toure expressed how he will return to the Spanish La Liga and join Barcelona one more time. However, in recent reports it is being told that Real Madrid are lining up a bid for the African star after his brilliant performances with
the Premier League giants.
Yaya Toure has introduced a new position in the footballing world, which is knows as a box-to-box attacking midfielder. His role requires him not only to help the team in attack; in fact, run back into his own box and help the team defend as well.
With a physique like Yaya Toure, any team is definitely having an added advantage as he does not only take advantage of his body strength, but also he is brilliant in moving up the pitch and making use of his good finishing and pace.
Since Jose Mourinho has decided to stay at the Bernabeu for at least one more season, the Portuguese mentor is currently looking for a player who can replace either http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sami-Khedira-c32325 in the midfield; and there is definitely no doubt that Yaya
Toure can replace both these players perfectly.
However, the two hurdles between Mourinho and his target man are; first, Toure has shown immense loyalty to Barcelona and he keeps repeating how he wants to make a return, and secondly, in order to buy the Ivorian, the Portuguese mentor will have to pay
at least 40 million Euros as his current contract makes him one of the highest earning players in the English Premier League.
It is now totally up to Yaya Toure whether he wants to make a move to Real Madrid, a club which he despised when he was a part of the Catalan giants.
