Yaya Toure Turns Down New Contract at Barcelona

Written on 1:33 am, June 11, 2009 by Dely Gun

The Barcelona midfielder, Yaya Toure, who is attracting the interest of Arsenal, has turned down a new contract offer from the European champions, giving Arsenal manager, Wenger hope that he could persuade the player to move to the Emirates Stadium.

The Ivory Coast international’s agent Dimitri Seluk, according to a report in the Sun newspaper, revealed that the Catalan club were unwilling to meet his client’s request for a 15 per cent pay rise. Toure, who has had a terrific season playing either in central midfield or, on occasion, as a stand-in central defender, is believed to be one of the lowest paid players at the club, on a wage of around £45,000-a-week.

Arsenal are believed to be lining up a £15 million bid for Toure but will face serious competition from European heavyweights Inter and AC Milan.

Arsenal are a love, just like a girlfriend or a wife. You cannot fix things you don’t like by moaning about her. But believe me, Arsenal are one stunning girlfriend. Arsenal were, and still are, my team. I am an Arsenal fan and have been since I was a child. I loved Thierry Henry because he was a genius player. Once a gunner always a gunner.
