Maicon doesn't worry Moratti
Tuesday 30 June, 2009

Inter President Massimo Moratti is playing it cool amid statements made by Maicon saying he will leave the club unless he gets due recognition.

The 27-year-old Brazil international full-back is upset because he feels the Nerazzurri are more interested in pleasing Zlatan Ibrahimovic than their other stars.

After a fantastic season, Maicon is adamant he deserves a raise and if Inter are unwilling to give it to him, he will leave for either Real Madrid or Chelsea.

“Maicon's demands are questions that regard the club. I was convinced that he would win the prize as the best player at the Confederations Cup considering he also went there injured, but I am obviously happy for Kaka who has won it and is still a great kid,” Moratti told Sky Sport 24.

“We consider Maicon for the value that he has. It was not difficult to predict that he would become the strongest full-back in the world.

“We have watched him for three years and our victories also depend on him.”

When asked if he is worried about Inter, whose stars seem disgruntled, Moratti replied: “Why? We reinforced with Diego Milito and Thiago Motta.”
