Club career

Born in Bacabal, Maranhão, Mikael joined Sport Recife's youth setup in 2017, after impressing on a trial at his hometown.[1] After impressing with the under-20s, he made his first team debut on 4 February of the following year, coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate Neto Moura in a 1–1 Campeonato Pernambucano away draw against Salgueiro.[2]

On 18 February 2019, after being back with the under-20 side, Mikael was loaned to América-PE for the year's Pernambucano.[3] Upon returning, he was again assigned to the under-20s while also featuring for the under-23s.

On 7 January 2020, Mikael joined Série B side Confiança also in a temporary deal.[4] At the club he scored his first senior goal, netting his team's second in a 4–2 away win against Freipaulistano for the year's Copa do Nordeste on 8 February.[5]

On 6 October 2020, Mikael was recalled by Sport.[6] He made his Série A debut nine days later, replacing Marquinhos and scoring his team's third in a 3–5 home loss against Internacional.[7]
