Inter Milan are closing on a double raid for Manchester City pair Pablo Zabaleta and Yaya Toure.

Tuttosport says Inter are already in advanced talks over a deal for fullback Zabaleta, who is now inside the final 18 months of his current deal.

Inter are also negotiating with Toure and growing confident of striking terms.

The key will be Roberto Mancini.

The Inter coach is driving the deal personally and while he has the Ivorian's commitment, he needs to convince Toure to accept a hefty pay-cut.
