Maicon has joined AS Roma on a permanent deal.
The Brazilian full-back arrived at City last August but found first-team opportunities limited and he made just 11 appearances during the 2012/13 campaign.
With Pablo Zabaleta and Micah Richards seemingly ahead of him in the battle for the right-back role with the Blues, the 31-year-old has opted to return to Serie A to continue his career.
Everyone at Manchester City wishes Maicon good luck at his new club.
