MAN CITY DOWN UNDER: Yaya Toure again douses Inter Milan speculation, targets eight more years

Yaya Toure has shot down questions regarding a potential move to Inter Milan.

The Manchester City midfielder has been heavily linked with the Italian club over the past few months after it became apparent that he could perhaps be on his way out at the Etihad Stadium.

Toure always insisted he was committed to City and has again moved quickly to deny suggestions that former boss Roberto Mancini will come calling regarding a move to the San Siro

"I have made it clear, like during the season, about the speculation that I am leaving," Toure told reporters in Melbourne.

"The manager (Manuel Pellegrini) is staying and I am happy at the club. You guys keep making that speculation but I'm contracted here and I will stay until the end of my contract."

And Toure, 32, also suggested he would continue playing football for another eight years.

"I've always known for 32 years that I can play until 40 because I know my quality and that's all," he added.
