Maicon played 235 matches for Inter, scoring 20 goals, and will link up with his new team-mates when he returns from international duty next week.
Sinclair also arrived for an undisclosed fee from Premier League rivals Swansea.

"There were times when I thought it might not happen so I'm relieved that I'm here and I can't wait to get started."
Sinclair could be included in the City squad for Saturday's home game against Queens Park Rangers.
