Corriere dello Sport reports that Yaya Toure is not the only big name Mancini insists on for the midfield.

“The first name in midfield for Mancini is that of Thiago Motta,” writes the Corriere.

“He is convinced (Motta) can be freed from PSG and that he will guarantee leadership and tactical fluidity. He is preferred to Darder, Camacho, and Susic, whom (chief scout) Mirabelli watched during the weekend.”
