Inter
Milan coach Roberto Mancini has expressed an interest in signing Manchester
City midfielder Yaya Toure this summer.
Mancini, who managed Toure at City, is a big admirer of the Ivory
Coast international and believes the 31-year-old would be a great addition
to his squad.
"Yaya is one of the strongest players in the
world," Mancini told Italian newspaper Il Giornale. "He still is.
"He has played in so many teams. He has been in leagues
in Belgium, Russia, Spain
and England.
Italy
is the one missing. This could be the right opportunity for him to come and
try.
"We are building a team. There are players that change
the look of a team, and Yaya is one of them.
"Next year we could try. We need to bring three
champions, and we will see that we will be ready to fight for the
Scudetto."
Toure is under contract with the Blues until June 2017 and
has scored seven goals in 18 Barclays Premier League appearances this season.
Mancini, who led City from 2009 until 2013 and oversaw their
maiden Premier League title success in 2011-2012, returned to Inter last
November for a second spell at the San Siro.
The Nerazzurri are 10th in Serie A, 23 points adrift of
leaders Juventus.
