Inter full-back Maicon is the subject of interest from Real Madrid and Chelsea, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The 27-year-old, who is widely regarded as the best in the world in his position, has been out injured since the end of March.
Until then, his performances were on a par with those of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Julio Cesar, as the best in Inter colours.
Real reportedly lodged a £25m bid for Maicon in the spring that was quietly rebuffed, but the player is interested.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Brazil international is tempted by the move, although he has never made his intention to leave Inter public.
The Spanish giants are apparently ready to come back with an improved offer this summer, while Chelsea are also said to be about to join the race for his signature.
Carlo Ancelotti, the Milan Coach who is expected to join Chelsea at the end of this season, is a big admirer of Maicon and has reportedly made as much known to his prospective new employers.
Maicon has made 36 appearances for Inter this season. He has scored five goals and provided several assists.
