Former Inter and Roma star Douglas Maicon is returning to Italy in order to play for Serie D side Sona. ‘It’s 100 per cent done.’
The 39-year-old will turn 40 in July, but hasn’t hung up his boots yet and is currently playing in Brazil for Villa Nova Atletico Clube.
Negotiations had been going on for a while, but intermediary Thiago Sousa told newspaper L’Arena “it’s 100 per cent done.”

Negotiations had been going on for a while, but intermediary Thiago Sousa told newspaper L’Arena “it’s 100 per cent done.”
The transfer window opens in Serie D on January 7 and Douglas Maicon isn’t the only one joining Sona, as his 15-year-old son Felipe will sign for the youth team.
“The deal is done, but he won’t fly in for another three weeks or so,” coach Marco Tommasoni told Daily Verona Network.
“I think this will boost enthusiasm for all the staff and players, but we still have to evaluate his fitness levels. His CV speaks for itself and he brings both experience and character.”
Maicon has not played in Italy since his Roma contract expired in July 2016.
The right-back was in the Treble-winning Inter squad of 2009-10, taking the Serie A title on four occasions, the Coppa Italia twice, the Italian Supercup three times and the Club World Cup once.
