Negotiations have come unstuck over the transfer fee. The Spanish giants are in no mood to go over the €25 million they feel is enough.
But Inter are pushing for the best possible deal and want €35m. Reports suggest a €30m offer could lead to smiles and a handshake, but time is running out, despite Maicon pressing Real to raise the stakes.
As.com reports a deal must be concluded within 48 hours or Jose Mourinho will start looking at other targets.
Milan's Thiago Silva has been touted as a possible alternative, but his agent Paulo Tonietto made it clear on Sunday he has no intention of joining Real as he played down speculative reports from Spain.
"We know Mourinho is interested in Thiago. Is he Real's plan B? No, he is no club's plan B," he is quoted as saying on Calcionews24.com.
