Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini has joked about bidding for Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure.

Mancini would like Inter chief Piero Ausilio to bring Toure to Italy in the summer.

"Toure? Piero, put your hands in your pocket!" Mancini laughed in an interview with Sky Italia.

"For me, he's one of the best in the world. He plays for City, so a lot depends on him and whether he wants to have an experience in Italy after playing in the other major European tournaments.

"It would be good for Italian football if he came."
