Toure Gets £8m per Year Deal in Qatar

Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure has reportedly been offered no less than £8million a year to join Qatari side Al Gharafa.

The Ivorian, who looks set to leave Manchester City this European summer and has been linked with a move to Inter Milan in Italy, could be offered a three-year contract by Gharafa.

The deal, as reported in the English media would net the 32-year-old the equivalent of £280,000 per week in the Premier League due to the tax breaks in the Middle East.

This figure is likely to be much more than he could earn elsewhere, considering that he is surely entering the twilight years of his career.
