Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho cannot resist Maicon as he stays vividly in mind, but the Inter defender's high wage demands have seen the move take another turn towards the slow lane.
Reports on Tuesday in La Gazzetta dello Sport claimed Inter and Madrid had agreed on the terms of the transfer: €28 million plus performance-related bonuses.
But reaching a full conclusion appears a distant possibility according to Il Corriere dello Sport as the move is blocked over the failure to agree wages.
Maicon seems in no mood to lower his €7m per annum wage demands. That stance seemed to be encouraged by his agent Antonio Caliendo, who last week said his client is not inferior to Kaka or Cristiano Ronaldo.
But the hand that feeds mouths in Madrid, Florentino Perez, will not add a grain to his €5.5m a year wage offer for Maicon.
Despite the deal becoming idle, Mourinho is ready to speak with Blancos chiefs in an attempt to persuade them to shift up a gear and bring the long deal to an end.
Voices claim that Thiago Silva of Milan remains an alternative, but that piste seems unstable as the Italian club have said he is not for sale.
