The four-time African Footballer of the Year revealed last week that he would be joining Brazilian Serie A club Vasco da Gama next season, should presidential candidate Leven Siano win the elections.
"I want to thank Leven for including me in this project," Toure said. "I can hardly wait to see all the Vasco fans very soon. It is going to be Vasco."
While the coronavirus pandemic has pushed back the Brazilian top-flight season and the club already in financial turmoil, current president Alexandre Compello has questioned the motives of Leven.
"I think it is irresponsible to take a footballer without knowing the financial situation of the club and without having the guarantee of being able to pay it," Campello told Radio Tupi.
"Then put under contract a 37-year-old player, who stopped for a season, it's scary."
The Ivory Coast legend has been a free agent since leaving Chinese League One outfit Qingdao Huanghai in January.
