Serie A - Maicon agent cool on City talk

PA Sport - Tue, 03 Nov 14:47:00 2009

The agent of Maicon has laughed off reports linking the Internazionale full-back with a move to Manchester City.

Maicon Livorno Inter 2009 - 0

The Brazil international is a reported target of the big-spending Premier League side, but his representative insists there is no likelihood of such a move.

"Every day there's a story linking Maicon to a different club," said Maicon's agent Antonio Caliendo to tuttomercatoweb.it. "First it was Real Madrid, then Manchester United and now City. I think Maicon has already reiterated his wish to remain at Inter."

Maicon has been a key player in Jose Mourinho's side and is under contract at the San Siro until June 2013.

Caliendo did not rule out a move under the right circumstances but appeared to dismiss City's chances of persuading him to move.

"If the likes of Real or United knock on the door then you consider the eventual offers," said Caliendo. "But we are talking about a top player who is fighting for the league title, the Champions League, the best player in his role, what would he be doing at City?

"I think it would be unthinkable, let's not joke about it."

  2. Sadly any club with the resources of Man City will­ eventually succeed, but let's be clear about one­ thing: Mark Hughes couldn't run a­ fruit'n'veg stall. If the owners had any sense­ they'd get someone with real pedigree in and­ succeed immediately. I'm not saying that they­ won't improve under Mark Hughes, but it'll take­ far longer. Let's hope more players turn them down­ whilst that chump is in charge.

  4. After reading that story and in between the lines i­ think there is a good chance that he will join City and­ i also think contrary to the media's belief Robinho­ is going nowhere!
