Yaya Toure 's representatives claim the Manchester City midfielder has received TWO offers which would see him earn £300,000 a week.

The Blues star still has a year left on his contract , but is expected to leave the club this summer – and there have been suggestions he will buy himself out of the remainder of his deal.

And now a report suggests that two clubs in the blossoming Chinese league – Shanghai SIPG and Jiangsu Suning - have made offers which would INCREASE the £240,000 a week wages he picks up at City.

The source told the Sun: “Yaya’s had his people meeting with both Shanghai and Jiangsu and they have both made firm offers.

“Buying himself out of his contract at City would not be a problem because he would recoup it twice over from the signing on fee he would get for coming over here.”

Yaya Toure has been at the heart of Manchester City's successes in the last five years

SIPG are managed by ex-City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson and have already signed ex-Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan on £227,000 a week.

Jiangsu have also been spending big, splashing out £25million for Chelsea star Ramires and then £37million on Brazilian Alex Teixeira.

Toure is now 33 and has a good relationship with the City hierarchy, but they are sick of the disruptive pronouncements of his agent Dmitri Seluk.

And with the midfielder's powers now on the wane – he was on the bench for the last two games of the season – City will want to recoup some money for him.
