'I want to bring Yaya Toure to Inter,' says club president Erick Thohir

Inter Milan will do everything they can in a bid to sign Yaya Toure from Manchester City this summer, according to club president Erick Thohir.

Inter coach Roberto Mancini has repeatedly expressed his desire to be reunited with the Ivory Coast midfielder next season.

But even though the Serie A club face restrictions under UEFA's financial fair play (FFP) regulations, Thohir told Indonesian newspaper Tempo that will not prevent them from launching a bid for Toure.

"I'm serious -- I want to bring Yaya Toure to Milan," he said. "I cannot say how probable it is that we will get him, but what is certain is that we are going to continue insisting that he comes to Milan."

According to reports in Indonesia, Thohir is preparing a bid of £10 million for a player who still has two years left to run on his contract with City.
