Massimo Moratti rules out Inter Milan return

Inter Milan head coach Roberto Mancini has said he would exploit any opportunity to sign Yaya Toure, should the Ivorian express a desire to leave current club Manchester City.

Former Inter Milan owner Massimo Moratti has denied reports he is considering buying back the club.
Moratti, 69, sold a majority shareholding in October 2013 to Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir.
Reports in Wednesday's Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper claimed Moratti, who kept a 30 percent stake in Inter, has been considering whether to exercise a buy-back clause this summer that was written in the original deal.
However, Moratti, who owned Inter for 18 years prior to selling the club, said: "There…

Inter Milan’s worst season harms future plans, says Gianluca Pagliuca

Without European football, players such as Mauro Icardi could request a move as early as this summer.

Inter Milan's worst season in over 20 years is jeopardising their future plans, with potential transfer targets looking increasingly out of reach and current players likely to be considering their future with the prospect of a season without European football.
Not since 1994, when three points were awarded for a win, have Inter accumulated so few points as the 38…

Inter Milan shamed by bottom side Parma as Mancini’s problems mount

Bayern selling Xherdan Shaqiri to Inter at a ‘discount’ – Rummenigge

Xherdan Shaqiri has recorded two assists in nine Serie A appearances for Inter Milan.

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says his club did Inter Milan a favour by selling them Xherdan Shaqiri since they could have earned more by selling the Swiss midfielder to England.
Shaqiri joined the Nerazzurri during the winter transfer window on an initial loan deal which becomes obligatorily permanent in the summer.
The transfer will cost Inter in the region of €15 million — less than the money Liverpool had reportedly offered the Bavarians.
"This is the deal we have,"…

Yaya Toure to Inter from Man City unlikely due to asking price – Fassone

The ESPN FC panel answer your tweets on which player the guys would rather have on their team: Yaya Toure or Nemanja Matic, the player that deserves to be the Premier League Player of the Year and if Arsenal will finish in the top two.

Signing Yaya Toure would be a "dream" for Inter Milan but Manchester City's asking price could prevent a transfer, according to the club's general director Marco Fassone.
Toure, 31, has been linked with a summer move away from City, with Inter, where former City boss Roberto Mancini is now in charge, mooted as potential suitors.
Mancini has regularly talked up a move for the midfielder, whom he worked with at City between 2010 and 2013.
The Ivory Coast international still has two years remaining…

Mauro Icardi: I’ll only depart Inter Milan if they want to sell me

Mauro Icardi joined Inter Milan from Sampdoria in 2013.

Inter Milan forward Mauro Icardi has told CNN he will only leave the club if they feel compelled to accept an offer for him in the summer.
Manchester United and Chelsea have both been linked with a move for Icardi, who joined Inter from Sampdoria in 2013 after only one full season in Italy's top fight.
However, the 22-year-old says his agents are hard at work negotiating a new contract with the Serie A club, who he insists he is happy playing for.
"If Manchester United or Chelsea, or I don't know…

Roberto Mancini and Inter face Parma in a positive mood

Inter head coach Roberto Mancini says an abundance of errors made it a near impossible task for his side to advance to the Europa League quarter-finals.

Milan may not be the place you would expect to find a hot bed of positivity from a footballing perspective, but nonetheless Inter are experiencing just that. They face Parma this weekend in a game they believe they can win and the team's mood is vibrant, even excitable. Manager Roberto Mancini has been planning for the future, and for a team that has not been picking up results, that is a refreshing stance.

The Inter coach has been bullish this week on how Inter need to finish the season. On Tuesday…

Inter Milan keen on signing Yaya Toure or James Milner – Mancini

Roberto Mancini worked with Yaya Toure and James Milner at Manchester City.

Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini is targeting Manchester City's Yaya Toure and James Milner after assuring supporters that the club will sign a "top player" in the summer.
Mancini — City boss from 2009 until 2013 — has spoken in the past about wanting to manage Toure once again, insisting that the midfielder wants to follow him to Inter.
Milner, meanwhile, is out of contract at the end of the season and sources have told ESPN FC that he is open to leaving City for a move abroad.
While answering…
