Inter full-back Maxwell has demanded an improved contract or he’ll begin talks with Arsenal, Chelsea and Real Madrid.
The 27-year-old Brazilian is under contract until June 2010 and is eager for a new deal to be drawn up as quickly as possible.
“When we arrived in Milan, we received promises from Inter and now wait for them to be kept,” said agent Mino Raiola in the Corriere dello Sport.
“This is why I am expecting a call from the directors to renegotiate the current contract, otherwise it will be unlikely we’ll see Maxwell playing for Inter next season.”
Snapped up on a free transfer from Ajax, he earns under £1.5m per season and is ready to use the interest of other clubs as a bargaining tool.
“In the past Valencia had made their interest known, while Arsenal, Real Madrid and Chelsea have asked for information on his situation.
“I think Maxwell has proved he is the finest left-back in Europe and now it is up to Inter to prove they want to keep him.”
