REAL MADRID TRANSFER GOSSIP 2011 | MAICON FOR 20M€ - KAKA ON LOAN ?

This piece of "dirty" rumour & gossip news comes out of Italy via their Sports paper "La Gazzetta dello Sport", which has been picked up locally by the Spanish Sports press. According to the Italian paper, Real Madrid Coach Mourinho is obsessed with signing INTER MILAN & Brazilian International right back MAICON. So much so, that the same source has published that Mourinho rang Inter Coach Leonardo to offer a "swap": Kaka for Maicon.

This option today has more details according to "La Gazzetta...". Real Madrid would pay Inter 20M€ for Maicon, give Inter Milan KAKA on loan, plus Real Madrid would pay 50% of Kaka´s yearly salary. 

Inter Milan player Maicon

The "obsession" by Mourinho with having Maicon in his team is not new & Mourinho tried last year to get the Brazilian over to Real Madrid. The idea would be to put Maicon on the right-back position & move Sergio Ramos to the centre of the defense. Mourinho has always said that Sergio Ramos is better as a Central Defender than on the flank.

Some observers however are not too keen on the idea of getting Maicon over to Madrid. The player has already 30 years of age & his alleged  "nightlife - lifestyle" has been also questioned. But the Inter Milan player is a genetically gifted Sportsman & still has 2 - 3 years left to give at the maximum level. Plus Mourinho is under pressure to deliver "titles" this coming season & this signing has a short-term objective/project written all over it.

Stay tuned for developments. At this stage it is just rumour, coming out of Italy, & it is best & wise not to make any assertive comments or conclusions with this story.
