'Neglected' Maicon calls Chelsea
Tuesday 9 June, 2009
Douglas Maicon’s agent has warned Inter of another transfer saga. “He hasn’t received the attention he deserves and we have several options.”
The right-back was a sensation for the Nerazzurri and a key figure in their ascent to the Scudetto this season, but has attracted interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid.
“Maicon has many years left on his contract with Inter. However, I believe he hasn’t received the attention he deserves,” Antonio Caliendo told calciomercato.it.
“Chelsea and Real? We have several options open to us, but first we want to see what happens with Inter. Evidently the directors are currently busy with other issues…”
The reference was to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is putting out feelers for a £70m move to Barcelona.
“When he returns from international duty with Brazil, we will examine where we are.”
Caliendo also commented on the recent world transfer record shattering £60m deal that took Milan star Kaka to Real Madrid.
“In today’s football there is no such thing as an indispensable player. Everyone is bought and sold at the right price. If it is convenient and helps balance the books, everything is for sale.”
