Yaya Toure could be set for a shock switch to Man UnitedReuters
Next up is a move to the Chinese Super League (7/2), with a quartet of Premier League sides – Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham – priced up at 6s.
But the bookies have essentially ruled out a return to the Nou Camp, with 20/1 on offer for the midfielder to head back to Barca.
Ladbrokes News’ Dave Burin said: “Yaya could be set to turn from titan to traitor in the eyes of City fans, with the odds suggesting he could soon swap the Etihad for the Stretford End.”
Yaya Toure has previously given plenty of signals that he would consider a move to Old Trafford.

Earlier this week, Toure's agent said he would relish the opportunity of playing under Jose Mourinho.
Dimitri Seluk commented: “Why not? Jose Mourinho is a very good coach. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was together with Yaya in Barcelona.

“I understand this is two clubs who are rivals but for me, for example, this is not a problem for Yaya or for me, this problem will be for Manchester City staff.”
And last year the midfielder admitted that he thought he was signing for Man United in 2010, rather than moving to the Etihad.
He told Nissan: “When I was at Barcelona and initially approached by Manchester City I thought it was Manchester United that wanted me.
“My agent had to tell me it was the team in the blue shirts.
“At the time Manchester United were putting Manchester City in the shadows. It was unbelievable.
“Manchester United is a big club and I respect that club a lot.”
