Real Madrid now offer Gago in bid for Inter fullback Maicon

Real Madrid have made a new offer for Inter Milan fullback Douglas Maicon.

Real coach Jose Mourinho is desperate to bring Maicon to Madrid this summer.

His latest offer, says Gazzetta dello Sport, is a swap deal involving frozen out midfielder Fernando Gago.

Inter are interested, though the board prefers a straight cash sale for Maicon of between €18-20 million.
