Real Madrid are to launch a transfer "offensive" for Maicon, according to the Inter Milan right-back's agent.[LNB] Despite the 27-year-old Brazilian being a key player for the Italian champions speculation has been rife that he is on his way out of the Giuseppe Meazza.[LNB]Maicon has demanded a pay increase but those that hold Inter's purse strings have as yet resisted yielding to his demands.[LNB]Manchester City are the only club to have made an offer for Maicon, who has also been linked with Chelsea, but his agent believes the Spanish giants - who have spent over £170million already this summer - could move soon.[LNB]Cherry on cake"I think that Maicon will be the cherry on the Real Madrid cake," said Antonio Caliendo. "At the moment there's nothing but I believe the situation is destined to change.[LNB]"After having bought (Karim) Benzema, now Real are focusing on (Franck) Ribery and Xabi Alonso, but then they will turn to Maicon.[LNB]"I have already said it and I repeat it - I'm expecting an offensive from them to try to buy him because he is the best in the world in his position.[LNB]"There's margin to manoeuvre with Inter. If the amount that will come to Inter will be the right one, everything could be finalised very soon."[LNB]Maicon is under contract with the Nerazzurri until June 2013.[LNB]
