Josué has sealed a move to to his homeland with Atlético Mineiro after the Brasileirão outfit agreed an undisclosed fee with Wolfsburg.

The midfielder spent six years at the Bundesliga side and captained the team to title glory in 2009, but has been on the fringes of the squad this season.

“We have agreed to this transfer,” Wolfsburg’s general manager Klaus Allofs told the club’s official website.

“Josue is one of the most successful players in the history of Wolfsburg.

“This switch is an interesting opportunity for him, therefore we have decided to sanction the move. He was a great servant to Wolfsburg down the years.”

Josue, who is believed to have penned a deal until 2014 with Atletico, added: “Of course I am sad that I’m leaving Wolfsburg, but this move is a big challenge for me.

“It was a wonderful time with many good and bad moments. I wish the team all the best and I’m confident they will achieve a lot of success.”
