No Toure combination for Arsenal


The Barcelona midfielder Yaya Touré, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal, has extended his contract with the Spanish league and European champions by a year until June 2012, the club said.

Barcelona have also increased the value of the 26-year-old Ivory Coast international's buyout clause to €100m (£85m) from €60m, the club said on their website .

The European champions have also made a €15m offer for Palmeiras striker 20-year-old striker Keirrison.

"The player won't be considered for Sunday's match against Santos ... and will remain out of the team until the situation is resolved," the Sao Paulo-based club said on their official website.

Keirrison, who was playing for Coritiba when he finished as top scorer in the 2008 Brazilian championship, joined the former Real Madrid and Brazil coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo's Palmeiras in January.
