Inter vice president Javier Zanetti remains optimistic the Serie A outfit can prise Yaya Toure away from Manchester City.
Javier Zanetti is hopeful Inter's rebuilding mission under Roberto Mancini can begin with the signing of Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure.
The Ivorian has been strongly linked with a move away from City, with Inter and his former manager Mancini reported to be at the front of the queue.
Inter has struggled this season and could miss out on a place in Europe, but Zanetti has his eye on Toure and Paris Saint Germain midfielder Thiago Motta - who left San Siro in 2012 - to help lift the club back up the Serie A table.
