Thohir: Kondogbia better for Inter than Toure
The president hailed the new signing as the best option to take the club forward, and expects him to become the leader of the side Inter is building.
Inter president Erick Thohir believes the club made the right choice in signing Geoffrey Kondogbia instead of Yaya Toure this summer.
The Nerazzuri had been heavily linked with a move for the Manchester City midfielder, with Roberto Mancini publicly declaring his interest in his former protege Toure as the ideal reinforcement for the midfield.
But the club instead completed a reported 40 million euro deal with Monaco for Kondogbia, with the in-demand France international putting pen to paper on a five-year contract with the club .
