Club career
Early career
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Michel started his career with São Cristóvão, being promoted to the first team at the age of just 16.[2] He subsequently represented Porto Alegre, Madureira, Guarani de Palhoça, Imbituba,[3] Novorizontino[4] and Camboriú[5] before returning to Novorizontino in 2016.[6]
Atlético Goianiense
After impressing with Tigre, Michel signed a loan contract with Série B side Atlético Goianiense on 26 April 2016.[7] He immediately became an undisputed starter for the side, contributing with four goals in 35 appearances and achieving top level promotion as champions.
Grêmio
On 27 December 2016, Michel was loaned to Série A club Grêmio, for one year.[8] He made his debut in the category on 14 May, starting in a 2–0 home win against Botafogo.[9]
Michel scored his first goals in the top tier on 8 June 2017, netting a brace in a 6–3 away defeat of Chapecoense.[10] He ended the campaign with five goals, being crowned the year's Bola de Prata.[11] In December, Grêmio exercised the buyout clause on his contract, and he signed a permanent two-year contract.[12]
Michel subsequently struggled with injuries in the following years, but still renewed his contract until 2022 on 30 April 2019.[13]
