Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini hopes for a green light from Manchester City to bid for Yaya Toure.

Mancini admits he's eager to be reunited with Toure.

"If we have to make sacrifices which will strengthen the team in the long run, then we will.

"Yaya Toure? I've always said that he's a Manchester City player, and that Inter will be there if we have the opportunity to get him.

"In that case we'd start negotiations. Let's see."
