Maxwell had looked set to depart the Stadio San Siro this summer after developing a fractious rapport with Inter coach Jose Mourinho and being pushed out of the starting line-up by the emergence of youth product Davide Santon.

However, the 27-year-old is now said to have patched things up with the former Chelsea boss and has instructed his agent, Mino Raiola, to resume talks with the club over a new deal.

Raiola is expected to fly in over the next few days to meet with the Via Durini directors and the ex-Ajax man should commit to the Nerazzurri until June 2013, according to the Corriere dello Sport.

There had been suggestions that Maxwell could defect to local rivals Milan, however, the defender is now apparently committed to extending his adventure with Inter after clear-the-air talks with Mourinho.

Even though Maxwell has not started a game in Serie A in almost a month, the left-back featured in the return leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final with Sampdoria and has not been left out of the squad in recent weeks.
