According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, the striker has thrashed out personal terms on a contract with the club.

 

 

Toure has given his nod of approval to a four-year contract worth €1.5m per year with the Serie A outfit.

 

Atalanta have also been making steady progress in talks over a deal with Almeria over signing him.
