Brazilian international Maicon could leave Italian champions Inter in the summer as long as negotiations with interested parties get the green light from club President Massimo Moratti.

The revelation came from the player’s representative, Antonio Caliendo, when asked about press reports claiming that Premier League big spenders Manchester City have lined up a €45 million bid to sign the 28-year-old.

“When you have a contract in the way, it takes two parties to get things done,” Caliendo told Calciomercatonews.com.

“We are aware of offers for Maicon. But for him to leave Inter, the club must agree to it.

“Both parties have to benefit from it. If there were this benefit we could talk about it. So, the choice is up to President Moratti: it’s him who will decide whether to release Maicon.”

The former Monaco man would reunite with ex-Inter boss Roberto Mancini at Eastlands.

“Mancini has always expressed his desire to have Maicon, so it doesn’t come as a surprise,” Caliendo added to Tuttomercatoweb.

“We’ll see what Inter intend to do at the end of the season…”
