Madrid, Spain (My Sportsbook) - Real Madrid appears to have dropped its interest in signing INter Milan fullback Maicon this summer. The Brazilian had said he would welcome the chance to move to the Spanish capital, but Real's director general, Jorge Valdano, insists $57 million is too much to pay for the 27-year-old. "We will not make that offer, as we already have Sergio Ramos in that position and Maicon is no better," Valdano told Radio Marca. Real has already signed Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema since the end of last season, but Valdano has hinted that another new arrival is imminent. "He is an attacking player with some similar characteristics to Kaka," he added. "We are looking for a more defensive midfielder to play alongside [Lassana] Diarra." (Courtesy of sportbox.tv) |
