Yaya Toure looks set to depart Manchester City over the summer, but according to his agent, Dimitry Seluk, he will only make a permanent switch away from the Etihad Stadium rather than leave on loan.

Toure’s Agent ‘Talking’ to Inter Milan 

Wednesday, May 18

“It’s true, we’re talking with [Inter Milan manager Roberto] Mancini,” revealed Seluk, per Italian outlet Calciomercato (via the Manchester Evening News‘ James Robson).

“We’re looking for a solution with [City], who want to sell Toure only up front, not on loan. I can’t say if there are other teams interested. He has a contract, but nothing special. Inter? It’s a good club,” he added.

Seluk said the 33-year-old Ivorian’s future will be decided in the next 10 days, according to Robson.

Mancini was in charge at City when Toure arrived at the Etihad from Barcelona in 2010.

The pair won the FA Cup and Premier League together before Mancini, now 51, was sacked in May 2013 and subsequently replaced by Manuel Pellegrini.

Toure’s impact in the City side has declined over recent seasons, with his Premier League goal tally dropping from a career high of 20 in 2013-14 to 10 the season after and just six in the 2015-16 campaign, per WhoScored.com.

It has long been expected the arrival of incoming manager Pep Guardiola at City would spell the end of Toure’s Sky Blues career.

And with only one season left on his current deal with City, it seems he is destined for a move to Serie A’s Inter and a reunion with Mancini.
