For all those german readers out there.
To summarize, Inter are prepared to pay 73 mil euros for Yaya Toure, plus offering him a huge salary, almost 54 mil in 4 years.
If this comes true, Mancini should be called Sir Bobby from now on, around here.
MADNESS!
According to that Article, as far as I can tell, the 73 mil is for Yaya. That's what Inter would be willing to pay him over five years. The transfer fee, as far as I can see, isn't mentioned more than they would have to pay it on top of the salary costs. Perhaps I'm reading it wrong though. Zuri or TomS could perhaps be of better assistance.
I also don't think someone repeatedly tapping up one of our most important players qualifies someone for an accolade ;)
I don't speak german that good, only the basic things, but from what i understood they want to pay him 210.000 per week, dunno if euros and pounds and almost 52 mil pounds plus bonus (?) to us, that will make the bid to be around 73 mil euros.
It's really weird, if you ask me, to pay that much for a 31 year old that had a shit season. Last year, maybe, but now, i would not pay mare than 20 mil for him. Not even on a long shot.
PS: other newspapers took this news in, but i saw only in one the bid that City will receive. The rest speaks about his salary.
