Manchester City defender Maicon is set to return to Italy by joining Serie A giants Roma according to reports.
Football Italia claims that the former Seleção full-back is set to arrive in Rome on Monday ahead of signing a new contract with the Giallorossi.
The transfer is thought to cost €5 million and Maicon will gain more playing minutes than at Manchester City.
Maicon had been frozen out of the Citizens side under Roberto Mancini as Argentinean Pablo Zabaleta was preferred in the right-back slot.
The Brazilian should be confirmed as a Roma player by the end of the week as Roma look to overhaul their squad.
