Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini believes that Yaya Toure will stay at Manchester City this summer despite the Italian being keen on a reunion at San Siro.

Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini has claimed that Yaya Toure will remain at Manchester City this summer.

Toure's future at the Etihad Stadium came under scrutiny in the wake of Pep Guardiola's appointment as manager since the Spaniard sold the player to Man City during his time in charge of Barcelona.

Mancini, who brought the Ivorian to the Premier League, was thought to be keen on a reunion at San Siro, but the Italian has now seemingly ruled out any deal materialising this summer.

"I think there's no hope of seeing him with us," he told Sky Sport Italia.

In his first press conference as City manager, Guardiola described Toure as a "huge talent".
