City make £24m bid for Yaya

Yaya is considered one of the best central midfielders in Europe and been dubbed the ‘new Patrick Vieira’
MANCHESTER CITY have made a stunning £24million bid for Barcelona midfield star Yaya Toure. Barca will fight tooth and nail to keep Toure.
A top source at the club said: “There is an offer for Yaya but the club will do what is necessary to convince the player to stay.”
Yaya, younger brother of Arsenal defender Kolo Toure, earns £2.4million a year at the Nou Camp. It is understood City will DOUBLE his wages in an effort to tempt him away.
The Ivory Coast ace, 25, is unsettled as Barca had promised him a new deal last summer but it never materialised. Toure, who has also been a target for Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, is considered one of the best central midfielders in Europe and has been dubbed the ‘new Patrick Vieira’ in Spain.
He snubbed Arsenal in favour of Barca when he left Monaco 18 months ago. He was linked with Italian giants Juventus last summer but Barcelona refused to sell. He scored a sensational solo goal in the 3-1 win over Real Mallorca last weekend.
As City make another big-money bid, skipper Richard Dunne insists the board must stick by under-fire boss Mark Hughes. He said: “The club need to keep backing him as the players believe what we’re doing in training is right.”
