The Ivorian has been without a club since leaving Manchester City this summer and has been linked with Arsenal and West Ham United in recent days.
Yaya Toure is close to agreeing a deal with Olympiakos, according to the Mirror; a move that would see him return to the Greek club after 12 years away.
The 35-year-old had been strongly linked with a host of clubs in London late last night after his agent announced on Twitter that he had passed a medical in the capital.
That saw betting odds drop on moves to Arsenal and Fulham as people tried to figure out exactly where he was going, although the agent was happy to confirm that it was not West Ham United or Crystal Palace.
But it now looks like he is returning to Greece and that his agent was merely being a bit cheeky by mentioning London in his announcement.
The Mirror claims that Toure will earn around £2m after tax in Greece – an awful lot more than the £1-a-week he would have accepted from a Premier League side earlier in the summer, as his agent claimed to Russian outlet Sport24.
Toure was allegedly offered to several Premier League sides but received no concrete offers, leaving him to seek out his return to competitive football elsewhere.
Greece and Olympiakos almost certainly was not his first choice but, with an apparent lack of interest in the Premier League, a return to Athens seems like as good a place as any to wind down his career.
