Inter Milan are preparing an offer for Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure.
The club's new owners, Suning Group, want to celebrate their takeover with Toure's capture.
Corriere dello Sport says Suning's first target is Toure.
Inter plan to pay for his wages and transfer fee by making the Ivorian the face of Suning in China with lucrative sponsorship deals.
Inter also plan to improve their revenue with two big commercial partnerships, believed to be with an airline and an automobile manufacturer.
