Maicon is set to leave São Paulo in the coming days and sign for Grêmio according to reports Globoesporte.com.
Maicon signed for São Paulo in 2012 but despite being a regular in the side has never been popular with the fans. His move to Grêmio would initially be a year long loan with an option of a permanent transfer at the end of it.
Maicon started his career at Fluminense before playing for a number of clubs including MSV Duisburg in Germany. He is contracted at São Paulo for another two years.
