Maicon-Balotelli, 48 decisive hours.
48 hours is the time that Real has given itself for the last offensive for Maicon, Mou, indeed, hasnt yet resigned himself to giving the brasilian up and has asked his club to try all out. The merengues offer has stopped at 23 million, Inter wants 30. Two days could be enough to define the future of Balotelli, contested by City and United. Another attack of 35 million is expected by Mancini's club but the obstacle is his wages.

These are the hottest hours above all for the destiny of Balotelli, the most likely to leave the black and blue fleet. United has the adventage with their offer of 35 million and 5 million a year to the player, but City wont give up. 30 million is the figure advanced to the directors of Inter in the last blitz in Milan but it would arrive at 35 million including bonuses. The wages are still too low for the demands of supermario's agent, Mino Raiola- who wants at least 4- 'only' 2.5 million. A distance which isn't beyond reach. In the end somebody in Manchester will show themselves.
