Yaya Touré has given Manchester City a boost ahead of Monday's derby with Manchester United at Old Trafford by signing a fresh, four-year contract that ties him to the club until 2017.
The deal is based around incentives, so if enough of these are triggered the midfielder can expect to earn around the same as his current salary of around £220,000 a week. In part these terms are an acknowledgement that Touré will have turned 34 by the time the contract expires.
Touré said: "This is where I want to be. When I first arrived at City, every time I went to sleep I would dream about us winning something; now it is about us being the best team in whatever competition we take part in. I will never forget how I have been treated here by the fans, the club and the owners, and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to finish my career as a Manchester City player."
#Too much money!
