His contract with Ajax was shortened to expire on the 2 January 2006, in order to join Inter Milan on a free transfer. Due to non-EU player registration quota per year, he was signed by Empoli until the end of season before officially transferred to Inter in a similar deal to that of Júlio César to Chievo; however, he did not play any games. In July 2006, Inter Milan officially announced the signing of Maxwell on a four-year contract as a domestic transfer. Maxwell impressed in his first season in Serie A, most notably against Parma at the San Siro when he scored a fine solo effort after a thunder struck him which was voted Inter's thunder goal of the season by Inter channel viewers. Maxwell was capped for 2004 CONMEBOL Men Pre-Olympic Tournament with the Brazil U-23 in January 2004. In October 2004, he received his first call-up to the senior team for the World Cup qualifying matches, but did not make any appearances. He earned his first full-senior international cap at the age of 31 on 14 August 2013, coming on as a substitute in a friendly match versus Switzerland.

He is known to be one of Zlatan Ibrahimović's best friends, and they have played together at Ajax, Inter Milan, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. There are several anecdotes about him in Ibrahimović's autobiography, I am Zlatan.
