There have been more updates on Inter’s transfer saga regarding Yaya Toure as reported by Gianlucadimarzio.com.
The website reports that “after the progress of the last few days, Inter expects the Ivorian midfielder to have meetings with his club Manchester City to push for a move to Inter.”
“Inter look to be in a strong position but it remains to be seen if they will meet the English side’s valuation of 20M Euro.”
“With the player, the conclusion of contract negotiations seem to be getting closer with an agreement that should be about 6M Euro per season including image rights. However there is debate on the duration of the contract, with Inter offering a 3 year deal while Toure would prefer a 5 year deal.”
“The signing of the top players required by Mancini could soon become a reality.”

we will probably sell him to US or to middle east after 2 seasons wit us. he’ll follow Xavi, Pirlo and many others in prusuit for the remaining money in his career
Fucking shit fuck fuck why are both my teams, the new york knicks and inter riddled with incompetent management. 10-20 million for a 32 year old who wants a 6 mil/year contract? are you fucking joking with me. I swear after the knicks gave Carmelo a max deal and he’s turning 30… I think I am cursed.
You can’t really call Vidic’s season for a great success, so I am a bit worried going after another aging EPL player. But it all depends on the cost. 3 years should be the absolute max, but we could throw in a performance/result based extension option.
I still remember Figo, Roberto Baggio, Vieira, Materazzi,Dejan Stankovic, and Walter Samuel…They can still play even already past 35 years old. So, still agree with this transfer.
Tell City to f#ck off, we’re not paying 15m!!!!
He can also activate his article in the contract and get free. OBEY CITY.
5 years LOL f#ck off! Play 3 years and THEN see how your engines still go.
You guys are never satisfed eh? This is an absloute blockbuster siginig, we are getting one of the best mid in the world! I dont care if he wants 5 years, hes only 31 and thats great. Yaya toure is complete upgrade than the midfield we have and more importanly he has the MENTALITY OF a champion which is very cruical. Best signing we can ever do in my opinion
He is already 32, check your facts. You don’t care that he wants 5-year contract? You’re acting like a spoiled kid… Everybody wants him but let’s think about the length of the contract…
agree, since we only play in serieA next season and due our financial condition, i don’t expect any good signing this summer. so if we still can sign toure, I think it would be great.
You contradict yourself. “due to our financial condition”.. . so we should shell out 20 mil on a has-been and pay him 6 mil per year for 3-5 years? Do the math and tell me if that’s abiding to the FFP
do you really think we will sign someone if we can’t afford his demand?I don’t think our management is stupid enough to do that. their businessman afterall. so if they can sign toure, I guess the deal must be still in our limits.
if you want to say that its better to looking someone else than old toure, Im not sure we can sign or attract any good player this summer. what offer you want to give to them?much playing time?
that’s why I don’t expect any good signing come this summer, so if we can sign toure or any good player this summer it would be great and credit to auselio.
He used to be one of the best midfielders. This season he was far from the best. I saw a lot of Man City games and you can ask any City fan. He is now 32 years old, which means that if he signs for 5 years then in the future Inter would have a 35-37 year-old player who is the top earner at the club and who most likely sits at the bench. I don’t know what kind of mentality of a champion you are talking about but the past two seasons he has been developing more of a “mentality of laziness and indifference”. Maybe he will be more motivated in Inter, but I think a 5 year contract is an insane risk.
My point was incomparing with the squad players we have currently, he can install the champion mentaility which is lacking and to me is the most important thing Inter need right now. There is no point in bringing players that dont understand what is it to win or even comprehrend the mangnidtute of this club. look at Man United for example , in the Sir Alex days they had average players, but played like champions and became champions becaus they knew the club and stature theyre in. Yaya Toure in my opinion bring that, it is true that he dint have a great season but that could be because hes not happy anymorre and even complianed last year that CIty werent ackownledging him… Football is a mental thing. A change of secenry and reuniting with Mancio could bring the form we know. The contract deal is not ideal but seeing Inter’s trend recently, the money could be splashed on even worse players, i can live with that.Besides if that what it takes to bring him, i dont mind because that champion mindset is priceless. Him and Motta ( if he comes too) will change the mindset the team
20mil is expensive.. 10mil
Am i the only one who against this transfer policy? enough with bring experience and shite, vidic was brought in for the same reason and what happen? NOTHING, our defense line still suck hard… With that money we can buy another player that is much younger eventho lower in quality…Where’s the ZERO YEAR? Where are our EUROPEAN CHAMPION PRIMAVERA? Our transfer policy this year should prioritize selling the deadwoods, old guards and big salaries no action like vidic and guarin, especially GUARIN! after the clean ups then we can add one or two quality player who is young and hungry… keep handa kova and icardi please!
We already have young players , but they are not gonna WIn you titles . Mancini has stressed this alot of times in his conferences . we need proven talent that can help us who have experience and leadership skills, yaya is far from finished and can give at least 3 more years .ad for Motta I think he can play alot more than yaya . His style isn’t really effected by age . It’s not all about having a young squad . Juventus have pirlo and buffon (37) years old . chiellini and lickstiener and tevez (30) and evera (33) starting in a cl Simi final . young players are not always good
Completely agree with you mate, even inters treble team were mostly 27-28 and above. Experienced teams always gets results because it’s when there young they make idiotic mistakes. Inter need one talented experienced midfielder as toure to teach these youngsters(kovacic, brozovic and gnoukouri) a thing or two about winning, whether this is on the field or training ground.
yeah . To me motta is one of the most underrated midfielders today . His stats are great and he brings stability to the midfield. His motionlessness is a great feature of his. he’s like busqets in a way . if you’ve seen his match vs psg you would know how good he is . yaya is awesome his ability to score goals from everywhere is godlike . And his physical stature brings something that we never had B4 . I’m all for it
It’s not that his underrated but more of his style of play does not attract attention to the viewers. Toure scores goals so obviously all eyes will be on him, that’s the thing with football sometimes there is less appreciation for players doing the hard work to keep the team winning.
may be . he’s one of the best holding midfielders , it’s just people are more attracted toward tackles lol . although very knowledgeable people don’t rate him much 🙁 . i think it’s a great deal if he comes
You both have.. lets say.. special opinions. you think signing 27-28 year olds is the answer? You sign a younger team first, let them play together for a while under a competent coach, then you fucking introduce “hand picked” signings like mourinho did to solve the gaps. This is exactly the reason why Man City has failed. Consistency, continuity, “hand picked” signings. See how long it took chelsea to win something?
you sign player who have previously won to teach youngsters what there missing in their gameplay, for them to take it up a notch. Every team needs players like that, so in mid-game crisis the coach can rely on more experienced players to overcome the match. Please tell me who are the players youngsters would like advice from or learn from in midfield, guarin? These players deserve a player who understands the coaches instructions and can help the team integrate faster together. After that the continuity and everything else comes in place.
Yes your the only one
It’s still far far away to become a reality than Italian medias suggested
I would sign him with a 2 year contract, considering his age.
It’s strange if Inter wants to bring a top midfielder, without thinking about bringing top players in other lines. I think the club is planning to bring heavy weapons to the Giuseppe Meazza.
So.. how about thiago motta? Toure is awesome and all but 5 years and this salary… too much
5 years is simply madness.
But then again, perhaps it’s expected that his demands will be crazy – it was unimaginable that we could sign him until 2-3 months ago.
Holy shit, 4 years was too much already, but 5 years and 6 million? That is like begging to throw away money. I would give him a 2 year contract with possible extension based on factors like performance, number of appearances…
Just believe in ausilio, i’m sure 5 years and 6 millions are just a rumour spread by media
5 years…hmmmm..should be 4 at most
