Manchester City have confirmed the arrival of Maicon at the Etihad Stadium from Inter Milan and have also snapped up experienced goalkeeper Richard Wright as a free agent.
Roberto Mancini has turned to a man he knows well in an effort to solve City's problems at right-back, with Maicon having worked under the Blues boss during his time with Inter.
The pair spent three productive years together at Giuseppe Meazza and will be hoping to get their hands on further silverware after reuniting in England.
Maicon brings considerable international and European experience with him to City, with the Brazilian defender having graced the 2010 World Cup and 2010 UEFA Champions League final.
The 31-year-old will also provide cover down City's entire right-hand side, with his buccaneering style of play making him as comfortable on the wing as he is at full-back.
"Brazilian defender Maicon has joined Manchester City on a permanent contract," read a statement released on the club's official website.
"The right-back moves to the Blues from Inter Milan for an undisclosed fee."
