adminLONDON. – Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is planning a shock move for Manchester City’s unsettled midfield star Yaya Toure. The 32-year-old Ivorian who according to his agent Dimitri Seluk is “90 percent certain” to leave the Etihad in the summer has attracted interest from his former City manager Roberto Mancini at Inter Milan, Champions League finalists Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.
But Seluk also revealed that he has been contacted by a Premier League club. Sunday Express Sport can reveal that club is Chelsea.
City are resigned to Toure leaving and will use the transfer fee and a saving on his £220 000 a week wages to help redesign their ageing squad.
Their hit list of potential new signings includes Juventus’s former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, Wolfsburg’s Kevin De Bruyne, Everton’s Ross Barkley and Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling.
But it’s Toure’s destination which is intriguing, especially with Chelsea ready to show their hand. – The Daily Express.
