Maicon leaves Manchester City to join Roma

Manchester City right-back Maicon has completed a permanent move to Italian side Roma  for an undisclosed fee.

Maicon, 31, failed to impress in his only season with City after joining from Inter Milan on transfer deadline-day last August for a reported £3m fee.

The Brazil international struggled for form and fitness throughout, making 13 appearances  in all competitions.

The transfer sees Maicon return to Serie A after previously enjoying a trophy-laden six-year spell with Inter.
