Rumoured Maicon

[Stamford 3]

Chelsea and Manchester City left to battle for Maicon as Real Madrid balk at £35m price-tag

Real Madrid are ready to let Chelsea and Manchester City fight it out for Inter Milan right-back Maicon.

Bernabeu dealmaker Jorge Valdano admits the Spaniards have been priced out of a move for the marauding Brazil full-back.

City reportedly made an offer of £25million plus unhappy Brazil midfielder Elano for the San Siro star while Chelsea are said to see him as an improvement on Bayern Munich target Jose Bosingwa.

But Valdano said Madrid would not be following up enquiries after being quoted a £35m asking price for the 27-year-old.

'Inter's asking price is 40m euros,' Valdano said. 'But we will not make such an offer seeing as in that position we already have Sergio Ramos, who has nothing to envy the Brazilian for.'

If the asking price is truly £35m then we won't be in for him either!

The only possible reason we could be in for a right is if we are to use Bosingwa to get Ribery, but we would be mad to pay £35m for the replacement right back.

& i don't see how we need him, we've got Bosingwa and would be stupid to sell him, unless he's off then whats the point

What are you doing here??

I was just thinking about Bosingwa and how we may have missed a trick by not bringing in Maicon. I'd imagine you're here because you like Inter?

Even Bosingwa could contain Bale ffs
