Manchester City are yet to close a deal for Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure.
The Sun says City have also been keeping a close eye on talks between Toure - brother of their captain Kolo - and Barca.
Sources at the Premier League club have denied they have already struck a deal for the Ivory Coast ace, 27.
But City manager Roberto Mancini has been keen on Yaya since he arrived at Eastlands in December and that has not changed.
