Internazionale president Massimo Moratti has confirmed that Brazilian wing-back Maicon will remain with the club next season, after a move to Real Madrid failed to materialise.

The 29-year-old has been a target for the Spanish giants for much of the summer, but Inter now insist that any move is out of the question.

Moratti told the Corriere dello Sport: "I can confirm that Maicon is not transferable. If Real Madrid really wanted him, they should have tried harder.

"We're not letting go of him, because he's a very strong player. He has a great understanding with our fans and it would have been very difficult to part company with him.

"Maybe Real Madrid didn't really understand how important Maicon is. He is a real class player and always gives his all for the team.

"He has been a key player for Inter and he really didn't deserve to end up in a situation like this. Maicon will stay with us and he's more than happy to do so."
