Maicon agent laughs off Man City talk

The agent of Maicon has laughed off reports linking the Inter Milan full-back with a move to Manchester City, though he revealed the defender may consider leaving the San Siro in the future.

The Brazilian star could be on the move, but not to Eastlands.The Brazil international is a reported target of the big-spending Premier League side, but his representatives have insisted there is no likelihood of such a move.

"Every day there's a story linking Maicon to a different club,'' Maicon's agent Antonio Caliendo said.
"First it was Real Madrid, then Manchester United and now City. I think Maicon has already reiterated his wish to remain at Inter.''Maicon has been a key player in Jose Mourinho's side and is under contract at the San Siro until June 2013. Caliendo did not rule out a future move under the right circumstances but appeared to dismiss City's chances of persuading him to join Mark Hughes' Eastlands revolution.
"If the likes of Real or United knock on the door then you consider the eventual offers,'' said Caliendo. "But we are talking about a top player who is fighting for the league title, the Champions League, the best player in his role, what would he be doing at City?"I think it would be unthinkable, let's not joke about it."
