The Brazilian is reportedly closing in on a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
“Maicon is the best full-back that we have. In fact, he’s the best full-back in the world,” said Zanetti.
“It is very important that he stays with us. If he were to leave, then the Coach would pick a substitute.
“It’s true we do have a very large squad, but I really hope that Maicon stays on at Inter.”
