Real Madrid eyeing Yaya Toure swoop

Real Madrid are preparing a summer deal for Manchester City star Yaya Toure, according to reports.

The Ivory Coast international has been tipped to leave the Mancunian giants once Pep Guardiola takes over the managerial reigns in the summer.

According to Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo, the 32-year-old footballer could be on his way back to La Liga, with Real Madrid known to be interested in his services.

It is added that City will not come in the player's way as his wage structure has proved a big burden for the club in recent years.

Toure joined the Citizens from Barcelona in 2010.
