Spanish giants Real Madrid are reportedly edging closer to an agreement for Inter Milan fullback Douglas Maicon.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has tabled a €28 million bid for the Brazil international.
It was reported the Inter Milan were demanding €35 million for Maicon, but have now climbed down and are willing to sell for €30 million.
It is believed that Real Madrid’s new boss Jose Mourinho is keen to be reunited with as many of his former Inter players as possible and has also been asking for Dutch play-maker Wesley Sneijder and Italian striker Diego Milito.
