Ismael Toure's situation is being monitored abroad amid talk of his pending exit from Stellenbosch FC, the Siya crew can reveal.
As reported by this publication, Toure is understood to be keen on a move away from the Cape Winelands' outfit, with several clubs showing interest in his services.

While Stellenbosch have appeared to be planning for life after the Ivorian after welcoming former Mamelodi Sundowns defender Brian Onyango last week to be part of the preparations for the start of the Premiership season, the club has yet to officially make an announcement on Toure's future.
The 26-year-old wasn't part of the team that played against Nsingizini Hotspurs of Eswatini on Saturday in the CAF Confederation Cup, with sources indicating that he could be close to leaving.
Insiders have revealed that Toure trained with Stellies' DDC team instead of the first team recently.
News reaching the Siya crew is that, while the centre-back has been linked with several clubs in the PSL including Kaizer Chiefs, SuperSport United and Sekhukhune United, Wydad Athletic Club in Morocco could be another option for him if he does manage to secure his exit from Stellenbosch.
"There is so much interest in him and that's why he seems to be desperate about making a move. He sees this as an opportunity to further his career after having done so well in the last two seasons. And what I can tell you is that he is a player that coach Rulani (Mokwena) was closely monitoring even during his time with Sundowns," a close source revealed to the Siya crew.

"Toure's name has been mentioned regarding a possible move to Wydad where Rulani is now the head coach. But it's still early, because the player we are talking about here is contracted to another club and there's a lot that will still need to happen before any deal could take place, but don't rule out the possibility of him leaving the PSL if he does get to exit the club (Stellenbosch)," the source said.
