Antonio Caliendo, the agent of Inter Milan defender Maicon, claims his client's long-speculated move to Real Madrid is still on the cards despite waning interest from Spain.
The Brazilian right-back has been tipped to be on his way to Los Merengues following José Mourinho's arrival at Bernabéu, but hopes of a move were believed to have ended as Inter demanded €35 million for the player.
However, Maicon's agent Caliendo is still optimistic that a deal will go through with the summer transfer window not due to close until the end of August.
He told Sky Italia: "It seems that things have gone cold, especially as everyone is concentrated on the Mario Balotelli situation, and this pleases me - it means Maicon can enjoy his holidays in peace.
"However, the Real Madrid option for my client has not collapsed. History has taught us that the summer transfer window often closes with a bang!"
