Maicon open to Chelsea switch
-
CHELSEA last night swung their attention to £25million Brazilian Maicon Douglas.
The Blues have missed out on long-term target Glen Johnson, with Liverpool confirming an £18.5m deal yesterday.
But Inter Milan right-back Maicon has impressed in the Confederations Cup in South Africa and kept Barcelona ace Dani Alves out of Brazil's starting line-up.
Inter will accept £25m for the 27-year-old defender and are even willing to part with idol Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 27, for another £50m.
Chelsea will appeal against UEFA's punishments following the Euro semi defeat to Barcelona at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues were fined £85,000 for improper conduct of players and missile throwing by fans.
Didier Drogba was banned for six Euro games, two suspended for two years, while Jose Bosingwa was banned for four matches, one suspended.

Maicon open to Chelsea switch
Inter full back Maicon could be tempted by a move to Chelsea, according to his agent.
Inter president Massimo Moratti revealed recently they he believed the 27-year-old Brazil international had a 50 percent chance of staying with the Serie A champions after the player admitted he was considering his future.
And, although Real Madrid are thought to be leading the race, reports on Tuesday suggested Chelsea had made a £25m bid for Maicon after missing out on Glen Johnson.
Agent Antonio Caliendo said in Calico Mercato: “If an attractive offer comes in, well, in this world, everything is bought and everything is sold.
“I believe Ancelotti is one of Maicon’s biggest admirers.
“He is open to offers from everyone.”
He added: “Moratti is taking the right decision to assess the bids.
“Maicon is happy at Inter, but the transfer window lasts a long time.
“Something can happen every day, but for now there has been no decision.”
Bayern Munich are interested in current Chelsea right back Jose Bosingwa.
