Ive spoken to Yayas agent and he asked me to look for a team in Paraguay and Brazil. Hes great friends with Adebayor, he could come here, Codas told the D10 website.
However, if Toure does more to Paraguay, it wont be to Olimpia, Codas said.
Toure, 36, is currently playing for Qinqdao Huangai in the Chinese second division.
