Manchester City have signed Brazil international right-back Maicon from Inter Milan for an undisclosed fee.
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini managed the 31-year-old Brazilian right back for two seasons between 2006 and 2008 when in charge of Inter.
The Brazilian defender began his career at Cruziero and had a spell in France at Monaco, before moving to Serie A giants Inter Milan and made 235 appearances for the Italian side.
Maicon will join up with his new teammates after the international break.
A right-back renowned for his attacking instincts, he scored 20 goals for Inter and has nearly 70 caps for Brazil.
Maicon will now join winger Scott Sinclair, who signed from Swansea, and goalkeeper Richard Wright, Benfica midfielder Javi Garcia and Fiorentina defender Matija Nastasic who have all joined current Premier League champions Manchester City at the Etihad.
