The expected signing of the Ivory Coast international goes against the Liverpool owners' preference for buying youth and he would be the first player over the age of 24 that Brendan Rodgers has signed since taking charge at Anfield.However, his City career never recovered from a six-month ban during the 2010-11 season for taking a banned substance found in diet pills.Toure only made 18 appearances for Manchester City in the 2012-13 season and was left out of their squad for the Champions League campaign.Toure is in the United States as part of City's post-season tour but the proposed move to Anfield is likely to progress quickly once he returns.He and younger brother Yaya Toure were part of the Blues' team that won the Premier League in 2012, the club's first title for 44 years.
