Manchester City make Maicon approach says agent
Maicon, who has also been linked with Chelsea and Real Madrid, is currently with the Brazil national team squad in South Africa for the Confederations Cup.
The 27-year-old shone for Jose Mourinho's Inter as the Nerazzuri clinched a third straight Serie A title this year and now City manager Mark Hughes has reportedly made him one of his top priority targets.
City have already signed Gareth Barry, while Carlos Tevez is likely to move to Eastlands from Manchester United next month and Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o has been strongly linked a
£25m transfer.
According to the Express, City will offer Inter £10 million plus fellow Brazilian Elano in exchange for Maicon and the player's agent, Antonio Celiendo, said: "Maicon is the best right-back in the world.
"I can rule out that Manchester United are interested but City have made an approach."
Meanwhile, reports suggest City weill turn their attentions to West Ham defender Matthew Upson if they fail to prize Joleon Lescott away from Everton.
Lescott has been linked with a £15m move to City but Everton manager David Moyes is refusing to sell the England international and now Hughes is considering offering £15m plus Valeri Bojinov for Upson.
