Manchester City are ready to offer Yaya Toure a role as a club ambassador when he retires from playing.
The Ivory Coast midfielder has two-and-a-half years left on his deal but City are open to extending his contract, which is worth £220,000 a week, and are set to tempt him with a prestigious job behind the scenes.
At the age of 31, this is likely to be Toure’s final big-money contract.
But Financial Fair Play rules are an issue and City would be reluctant to offer him a pay increase. Instead, they are exploring other incentives, with an ambassadorial role or even a coaching position being talked about.
It is a far cry from last summer when Toure threatened to leave after being angered that the club did not acknowledge his birthday sufficiently.
