Man City's asking price for Toure will deny Inter Milan pursuit

Inter Milan believe it will be tricky to land Manchester City ace Yaya Toure this summer.

Nerazzurri boss Roberto Mancini is desperate to land the powerful Ivorian midfielder from his former club but it is believed that City's required transfer fee will make it hard to get a potential deal done.

Inter general director Marco Fassone admits any dreams to land Toure may be ended by financial issues.

"Who doesn't dream of having a player like him?" Fassone told Tuttosport.

"Toure would give our midfield line something that we are lacking. But his wages and City's asking price might be a big obstacle."
