Real Madrid have targeted Inter‘s right-back Maicon for most of the summer and it looks like they are going to get their man.
Real Madrid have reportedly already offered €25 million for the Brazilian with Inter holding out for €35 million. So lets split the difference and settle on €30 million. €30 million for a right-back, even one as good as Maicon, is a lot of money and something that Rafael Benitez’s assistant Amadeo Carboni doesn’t think that Inter can turn down:
“Maicon is an awesome player who is ahead of [Daniel] Alves for Brazil, but he is 30-years-old [he is 28]. If the offer they need to make comes, I’d support the release [of the player]. If a Madrid-style offer comes, he’d be sold because his career is ending.”
Maicon’s agent Antonio Caliendo also supports the deal saying:
“Maicon has won everything this season at Inter, and today has more hunger for titles with Real Madrid than Inter. [Massimo] Moratti and Florentino [Perez] are good friends. I hope that for the good of all, they will be able to find the middle ground.”
If Madrid offered €30 million for Maicon would you take it?
