Inter Milan are preparing a bid in the region of £45m for Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure, Gazzetta dello Sport reports.

The Ivory Coast international has been a key figure in City’s recent successes since joining them from Catalan giants Barcelona, but came close to departing the club last summer after reportedly being unhappy following a number of off-field incidents.

Toure, who is currently on international duty with his country at the Africa Cup of Nations; has once again been linked with an exit after further claims he is unhappy at the Etihad stadium.

And, further failed contract negotiations have led Inter to believe they can complete a summer move.

The Italian side are willing to sell a number of players this summer in a bid to recoup funds to sign the former Barcelona man and stay within FIFA’s Financial Fairplay guidelines.
