Inter Milan's Maicon is gearing up for departure
In the world of football, transfer rumours abound, but as of August 2025, there are no confirmed or credible reports linking Douglas Maicon to Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain. The Brazilian defender, who turned 30 this year, has been training separately from Inter Milan, having not renewed his contract with the Italian club.
However, Roma has emerged as a potential destination for Maicon, due to injury issues in their squad. With several of their defenders sidelined, Roma is considering re-signing Maicon on a pay-as-you-play basis. This development comes after Maicon's contract with Roma expired recently.
Maicon has had a long association with Inter, joining the club from Monaco in 2006. In the six years he has spent at Inter, he made 177 Serie A appearances, scoring 16 goals, including two in the 2011-2012 season when he played in 24 league games. The defender's agent described his association with Inter as a "beautiful love story," but recent statements suggest that this may come to an end at the close of the current season.
Last summer, Maicon opted to stay with Inter instead of moving to Real Madrid, but he was heavily linked with a move to the Spanish club. Similarly, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have been thought to be interested in Maicon, but as of now, there are no reports of any transfer discussions involving these clubs.
The player's representative has admitted that Maicon could leave Inter at the end of the season, and several offers for the defender have been reported. The offers will be evaluated, but as of now, the most promising potential move for Maicon seems to be a return to Roma on a short-term deal.
Despite the recent defeats, Maicon has remained calm and has not panicked, according to reports. He has not expressed any panic-stricken feelings about the situation, and there are no reports of any confirmed transfer links to major clubs like Chelsea or PSG.
In conclusion, while there is interest from other clubs, as of August 2025, Douglas Maicon remains unattached from Inter Milan, and his most likely destination seems to be a return to Roma on a short-term contract. The defender's future beyond the current season remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: Maicon's association with Inter has been a "beautiful love story" that has lasted six years.
Douglas Maicon's future beyond the current season with Inter Milan remains uncertain, but he might be returning to European leagues, specifically Serie A, to play for Roma. Although Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with Maicon in the past, as of August 2025, there are no confirmed or credible reports relating to these clubs and Maicon.
