Robero Mancini has interest in bringing Yaya Toure to Inter Milan.

Mancini was in charge of City when they signed Toure, 31, from Barcelona in 2010, and he has become established as one of the finest players in the Premier League.

"I wanted him at Man City so he's a player I know pretty well," he told a news conference. "He's one of the best footballers in the world but he belongs to City at the moment.

"I don't know what might happen in future but I can say that Inter have a big enough appeal to attract players of that calibre. The club has over 100 years of history behind it and a huge collection of silverware."
