Real give up on Maicon
Wednesday 8 July, 2009
Real Madrid transfer guru Jorge Valdano has ruled out a bid for Inter full-back Douglas Maicon because he is “too expensive.”
The Brazilian stated he wanted to move to the Merengues this summer, but the Nerazzurri slapped a £35m price-tag on him.
“We will not make that offer, as we already have Sergio Ramos in that position and he has nothing to envy Maicon,” commented director general Valdano on Radio Marca.
The Spaniards have swooped for a series of stars this summer, including Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, but Valdano denied Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas would be next.
“He is an attacking player with some similar characteristics to Kaka. We are looking for a more defensive midfielder to place alongside Diarra.”
