| Yaya Toure could leave Manchester City in the summer |
The Ivory Coast midfielder turns 33 in May and will have two years left on a £240,000-a-week contract that City are unlikely to extend.
Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini, who signed Toure for City in a £24millon from Barcelona in 2010, has made no secret he would like to take the midfielder to Serie A.
And Toure's agent Dimitri Seluk told SportItalia: “He will not move in January. However in the summer things can change. We are ready to listen to any offers that are on the table.”
If, as expected, Pep Guardiola, takes over from Manuel Pellegrini as City boss this summer, it could hasten Toure's departure after six years at the Etihad Stadium.
Toure helped Barcelona to complete the treble in Guardiola's first season in charge at the Nou Camp but then fell out with the Spaniard over his lack of game time.
Toure's fellow Ivorian Wilfried Bony will not leave City in this transfer window but could also be on the exit list this summer.
His agent Francis Kacou said: “Wilfried will stay at Manchester City. A departure this winter was never on the agenda, and City simply wouldn't sell him.”
And Pablo Zabaleta - also a target for Inter boss Mancini - is another City player whose future is under a question mark.
The Argentina right back confirmed at the weekend he will have talks with the club at the end of the season when he will have only a year left on his current deal.
