IBWM's mailbox has received word that Brazillian international, and rather good player Maicon will most definitely be following Jose Mourinho to Real Madrid in the next week, for a fee in the region of £30 million. Most of the English tabloids had Maicon on Manchester City's shopping list.....but then they had everyone else on that list as well.
Spanish tittle tattle merchant's Marca have gone a little further this morning though and suggested that City will now target Maicon's Brazilian understudy, Dani Alves. Alves has already turned down an initial contract offer from Barcelona and Citeh's name has sprang up. Now there's a surprise.
With the Catalan club securing the services of most of it's top players on long term contracts, as well as adding David Villa to it's roster, it's highly unlikely that 27-year old Alves will be leaving the Camp Nou for Eastlands. Bit of a non-story then. Sorry about that.......
