Yaya Toure will not move to China at the end of the season, even if he is released by Manchester City and will look to stay in the Premier League.

According to reports in England, the Ivorian has been offered £430,000 per week to move to China, but the midfielder is not interested in leaving the Premier League.

Toure's contract at City expires at the end of the season, and manager Pep Guardiola is yet to confirm or deny whether the he will be offered a new deal.

It is thought that even if Manchester City release the long-serving midfield general, then he will still look to stay in the Premier League and shun a big-money move to the Far East.

Therefore, while Toure's future remains largely uncertain, we can still expect to see him in England's top-flight next season, even if it's not with City.
