Inter Milan are chasing Manchester City pair Yaya Toure and Stevan Jovetic.
The Daily Mail says Inter, managed by former City boss Roberto Mancini, are keen on a loan deal for the 25-year-old with a view to a permanent £15m switch.
City are reluctant to agree to a loan deal and would prefer to get shot of Jovetic for good this summer.
Mancini is also determined to reunite himself with Sky Blues star Toure.
