Maicon 'going nowhere' insists agent

PA

Maicon's agent has reassured Inter Milan fans that the highly-rated defender will remain at the San Siro next season.

The Brazilian full-back has been linked with Manchester City, Real Madrid and Chelsea this summer.

However, Antonio Caliendo said: "There are no meetings scheduled (with Inter) so far.

"I reiterate that Maicon will not leave Inter.

"I believe in respecting a contract and the fans have nothing to fear."

Maicon, who shone at the Confederations Cup with Brazil this month, has demanded a pay increase.

Inter have so far not given in to the 27-year-old's demands but are willing to meet the player and discuss the situation, according to club administrator Ernesto Paolillo.

He said: "We will discuss this matter with the player in private and not in public.

"But there is already a contract that was signed by Maicon which satisfied both parts.

"We could eventually analyse certain issues even though for us everything is very clear."

Maicon is under contract with Inter until June 2013.
