Yaya Toure’s net worth: Former Man City player’s wealth revealed

What is Yaya Toure’s net worth?

Yaya Toure’s net worth is estimated to be £54.3 million ($70m), according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Toure was reportedly on £45,000-a-week during his time at Barcelona, ultimately leaving the club because the club was unwilling to meet the player’s demand for a 15 percent pay rise.

When Manchester City signed Toure for £24 million, he became the highest-earning Premier League player in history earning as much as £220,000-a-week from his basic wage alone.

His five-year deal added up to £55.6 million and included a £1.65 million-a-year for image rights and a further £823,000 each time City qualify for the Champions League.

By 2014, Toure was the fourth wealthiest player foreign-born player in the Premier League.

In 2015, he was the 83rd highest-paid athlete in the world, according to Forbes.

Toure is expected to earn as much as £2 million after tax in Greece, after he signs for Olympiacos, according to the Mirror.
