Inter Milan are keen to sign Manchester City’s veteran title-winning midfielder Yaya Toure.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old Ivorian has a year remaining on his contract at the Etihad.<\/p>\n

He was sold to City, then managed by current Inter boss Roberto Mancini, for \u00a324m by Pep Guardiola in 2010, when the pair were at Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Terms are still to be agreed and a source said it was ’50-50′ whether the transfer would go through.<\/p>\n

New City boss Guardiola is not due to be unveiled by the club for another fortnight.<\/p>\n

He is working hard on reshaping his squad, though, with midfielder Ilkay Gundogan – a \u00a320m capture from Borussia Dortmund – unlikely to be his last signing.<\/p>\n

Speculation about Toure’s future has been rife, given his previous discarding by Guardiola, although the Ivorian has indicated a willingness to work with the man who selected him in central defence for the 2009 Champions League final win over Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Inter see Toure as the kind of big name that would push them back into Europe’s elite.<\/p>\n

The club have struggled since winning the 2010 Champions League finalunder Jose Mourinho and failed to qualify for this season’s Champions League following a fourth-place finish in Serie A.<\/p>\n

However, manager Mancini now has the extra financial backing supplied by Inter’s new Chinese owners, the Suning Commerce Group.<\/p>\n

The company has taken a 70% stake in Inter as part of an overall 750m-euro (\u00a3590m) deal.
